FAQs... Woven Fabrics

What is a woven fabric?

A woven fabric is a type of textile made by interlacing two sets of yarn or threads known as the warp and weft – at right angles to each other. This weaving process creates a structured, grid-like pattern that gives woven fabrics their characteristic strength and durability. Woven fabrics are typically produced on looms and can vary in texture and appearance based on the type of fibres used and the weaving technique employed.

What is another name for woven fabric?

Another name for woven fabric is “wove textile” or simply a “weave”. Woven fabrics are often referred to as textiles because they are a key element of the textile industry.

What is an example of a woven fabric?

There are many different types of woven fabric, from a simple plain weave to a twill weave – where the warp yarns are offset to create diagonal lines; see our hardwearing linen-blend design, Livorno from Serrano – to more complex woven fabrics that are highly textural in appearance, an example being Pivot from our Tango Weaves II collection. Made using a mix of yarns, it has a basket weave design that lends it an almost three-dimensional appearance. Dobby weaves are another interesting type of weave consisting of small, repeated geometric designs; have a look at our classic Bryher fabric, a chic choice for upholstery or curtains. All of Linwood’s weaves are crafted in mills in either the UK or Italy.

Can Linwood’s printed fabrics be used for both upholstery and curtains?

Yes, our printed fabrics are designed to be versatile. They are robust enough to be used for upholstery, ensuring durability and longevity, while their elegant drape makes them ideal for curtains as well. This versatility allows for cohesive design themes throughout your home. Whether you are beginning your next project or bringing life to your décor, our printed fabrics provide the perfect solution.
