Weaving consists of intersecting each of the longitudinal threads on the loom, the warp, with the transverse threads, known as the weft. The linen yarn may also be woven with another fiber, e.g. a pure cotton warp may be woven with a pure linen weft to produce a linencotton mixture.
A fabric is the result obtained by interlacing two series of yarn: the warp yarn (1) and the weft yarn (2). The warp yarn is laid in parallel lines fabric lengthwise. The weft yarn is laid perpendicular to the warp yarn i.e. widthwise. A weft yarn intertwined with the warp yarn is commonly referred to as the pick and the edge of the fabric is called the selvedge.
