Mock Leno Weaves (6x6,8x8,10x10) || OriginStudio

Mock leno weaves:
Main features:
This weave is also referred to as imitation gauze weave. The main features of this weave are as
follows:

•It is an open perforated weave like as leno fabrics.

•It is produced in the ordinary way without special leno shafts.

•The similarity of this weave to the huckaback is quite obvious, but the method of
denting is different, as it is necessary to encourage thread grouping.

•The weave is arranged in groups of equal or unequal sizes. Threads working in plain
weave alternate with threads floating on the face or back of the fabric. The ends
from each individual group are whenever possible drawn into the same dent; this
bunches the floating ends together and causes a slight gap or opening in the fabric
giving an appearance similar to a gauze or leno weave, hence the name 'mock
leno'.

•Even number repeat size is normally used to produce this weave.

•This weave can also be divided diagonally into two equal parts.

•The smallest repeat size of this weave is 6 x 6.

Construction principle:
The stages in producing the weave are illustrated by the following figure:

• Mark out the repeat size, divide into quarters and fill a small motif in opposite
quarters, as in first step;

• Completely reverse this motif in the two remaining quarters, by substituting warp
lifts for weft lifts and vice versa, as in second step;

• Combine first and second steps to give the final weave.

End uses:
Because of the decorative all-over effects, the end uses range from curtains to table linen and
apparel fabrics. Fabrics produced with this weave are used for embroidery cloths, canvas cloths
and light-weight window curtains, but it is also popular in combination with other weaves,
particularly plain, in table linen, brocades, blouses and dress-wear.
