Question

............... Weave is a weave in which warp yarn of a pair is moved from side to side using doup attachment on loom and is also called gauze weave. This weave allows weft yarns to be held apart without slipping and forms open plain weave.

• A. Twill
• B. Satin
• C. Leno
• D. Jacquard

Hint:

Leno weave = Gauze weave. It gives strength to open fabrics by twisting warp yarns around the weft.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Characteristics of Leno weave.
In leno weave, two warp yarns are twisted around the weft yarns, locking them in place. This prevents slipping and provides strength while still leaving an open texture.
Step 2: Comparison with other weaves.
- Twill: Produces diagonal lines, not open structure.
- Satin: Produces lustrous surface with floating yarns.
- Jacquard: Used for complex patterns, not gauze-type fabric.
Step 3: Conclusion.
The weave described is Leno, also known as gauze weave.
