Plain weave is one of the three basic types of textile weaves. It is formed by the passing a weft or filling yarn over and then under a warp yarn. It is also called a Tabby as well as a Taffeta weave.
A plain weave can be identified by its checkerboard like appearance. It is also known as one-up-one-down weave or over and under pattern.
Examples of fabric with plain weave are chiffon, organza, spun rayon, taffeta, (tissue taffeta, warp-print taffeta). This is not an exhaustive list.
Satin weave and Twill weave are the other two main textile weaves.
PlainWeave Variation, Rib Weave - a corded effect in a woven fabric that can be either lengthwise, crosswise, or diagonal.
PlainWeave Variation, Basket Weave - a variation of the plainweave in which two or more warp and filling threads are woven side by side to resemble a plaited basket.
