Fancy weaves use different interlacement patterns between the design area and background to create patterns. There are several types of fancy yarns including jacquard, pile, spot, dobby, leno, swivel, lapped, and double cloth weaves. Jacquard weaves make brocades and tapestries using a jacquard attachment to control individual warps while dobby weaves use strips of wood instead of jacquard cards for simpler patterns. Pile weaves cut loops of extra warp or weft yarns to create raised surfaces like velvet and terry cloth.

Fancy weaves
Fancy weave and woven figure are made
by changing the interlacement pattern between the design area and the background. Fancy yarn is also known as structual design . Types of fancy yarns 1. Jacquard weave 2. Pile weave 3. Spot weave 4. Dobby weave 5. Leno weave 6. Swivel weave 7. Lapped weave 8. Double cloth weave 1.Jacqurd weave • The Jacquard weave, used to make allover figured fabrics such as brocades, tapestries, and damasks, is woven on a loom having a Jacquard attachment to control individual warps. Fabrics of this type are costly because of the time and skill involved in making the Jacquard cards, preparing the loom to produce a new pattern, and the slowness of the weaving operation. The Jacquard weave usually combines two or more basic weaves, with different weaves used for the design and the background. 2.Pile weave • weaves produce fabrics with raised, dense surfaces. They can be made by weaving extra warp yarns over wires, producing loops that are cut as the wires are withdrawn; by adjusting loom tension to produce loops that are frequently left uncut; by using extra filling yarns to produce floats that are cut after weaving; or by weaving two cloths face to face, bindingthem together with an extra set of warps that form the pile when the fabrics are cut apart. Examples of woven pile fabrics include velvet, plush, terry cloth, and many of the synthetic furs. 3.Spot weave 4.Dobby weave • Dobby weaves also produce allover figured fabrics. They are made on looms having a dobby attachment, with narrow strips of wood instead of Jacquard cards. Dobby weaves are limited to simple, small geometric figures, with the design repeated frequently, and are fairly inexpensive to produce. 5.Leno weave • Gauze weaving is an open weave made by twisting adjacent warps together. It is usually made by the leno, or doup, weaving process, in which a doup attachment, a thin hairpin-like needle attached to two healds, is used, and the adjacent warp yarns cross each other between picks. Since the crossed warps firmly lock each weft in place, gauze weaves are often used for sheer fabrics made of smooth fine yarns. Although gauze weaving, with its multitude of variations, has been adapted to modern production, it is an ancient technique 6.Swivel weave 7.Lapped weave 8.Double cloth weave • Double cloth or double weave (also doublecloth, double- cloth, doubleweave) is a kind of woven textile in which two or more sets of warps and one or more sets of weft or filling yarns are interconnected to form a two- layered cloth. The movement of threads between the layers allows complex patterns and surface textures to be created.
