Jacquard fabrics specifically refer to the patterns formed by the interweaving of warp and weft yarns during fabric weaving.
When weaving fabrics, the warp and weft structures are changed to form patterns. The yarn count is fine and the requirements for raw cotton are extremely high. It can be divided into shuttle weaving, warp knitting jacquard and weft knitting jacquard. Weft knitted fabrics have good elasticity when pulled horizontally and vertically, while warp knitting and shuttle weaving jacquards have no elasticity when pulled horizontally and vertically.
Jacquard fabrics are divided into large jacquard and small jacquard. Large jacquard fabrics are woven on jacquard machines. The number of yarn cycles ranges from hundreds to thousands. The jacquard pattern is large and exquisite, with distinct color layers and a strong three-dimensional sense. Small jacquard fabrics are mostly various small geometric patterns, woven on 16-24-page dobby looms. Due to the limitation of the number of heald frames used, the woven patterns are relatively simple.
In actual production, dobby weave fabrics are mostly yarn-dyed, with all or part of the warp and weft yarns in different colors, or warp and weft yarns of different raw materials, different fineness, twist, twist direction, etc., and fancy yarns can also be used. Dobby weave fabrics have a tight and delicate appearance, and the pattern is not very prominent or exaggerated. They are mostly used for thin fabrics, and their application is becoming more and more extensive.
