10x10 Huckaback Design || OriginStudio

Huckaback Weaves:
Main features:
These weaves are generally applied in the manufacture of non-pile towels. The main features of
this weave are as follows:
• This weave is characterized by a rough surface, which is produced by floating
threads in groups arranged on a plain weave basis.
• A more balanced huckaback is produced if the weave-repeat size is twice an odd
number (i.e. 2 x 5 = 10; repeat size = 10 ends x 10 picks), but it is by no means
impossible to produce the weave on a repeat which is complete on twice an even
number of threads.
• With these constructions hardwearing and extremely thick, moisture absorbing
fabrics are produced.
• Groups of plain weave are exchanged with groups of One end plain weave and one
end floating. To achieve a more prominent raised effect in the area where the threads are floating correct denting plays an important part. Whenever possible the long floating ends should be drawn into the same dent.
• 10 x 10 is the widely used repeat size.
• This weave can be divided diagonally into equal two parts.
Construction principle:
The following figure shows the stages in constructing the huckaback weave:
• Mark out the repeat size, divide into quarters and fill in plain weave in two opposite ones as shown at first.
• Fill in a motif in the other two quarters, which is preferably produced by taking plain weave and adding or removing some lifts, as at second one care should be taken to ensure that the motif and the plain weave bind together effectively.
• The final weave is produced by combining first and second one.

Drafting system:
Different drafting systems are used to produce this fabric. The draft which is generally used is so arranged that the odd number threads are carried by the two front heald-shafts and the
even number threads by the back two heald-shafts.

Uses:
Linen and cotton yarns are commonly used, and in coarser qualities they are particularly suitable for hand towels, glass cloths, roller towels and quiltings. Shirtings, dresswear and table
linen are produced in the finer qualities.
