Study Notes
Diamond & Diaper Weaves
- Diamond and diaper weaves are advanced twill weaves
- These weaves are created by combining right and left hand twills in specific patterns
- Diamond weaves use a pointed twill order to combine right and left hand twills
- Diaper weaves use a herringbone conjunction to combine right and left hand twills
Diamond Weave Construction
- Diamond weaves are designed based on a specific twill factor
- The diamond weave has a square pattern
- The number of ends and picks in the design is double the basic twill factor
- The design's ends and picks are divided into four equal sections
Diamond Weave Construction (continued)
- Right and left hand twills are used in each of the four sections to form the diamond pattern
- Specific diagrams illustrate the combination of right and left hand twills in each section to form a diamond shape
Diaper Weave Construction
- Diaper weaves are created similarly to diamond weaves
- The left and right hand twills are combined using a herringbone conjunction
- The resulting pattern is a specific diaper pattern
Diamond Weave Examples
- Examples of diamond weaves illustrate the construction process based on various twill factors (e.g., 4/4 twill, 3/1 twill, 4/6 twill, 1/5 twill)
- The instructions for each example detail how to create a diamond weave based on specific twill factor patterns
Diaper Weave Examples
- Examples of diaper weaves show the construction process based on different twill factors (e.g., 4/4 twill, 4/1 twill, 5/1 twill, 2/4 twill, 4/3 twill, 1/1/4/1 twill)
- The examples provide step-by-step instructions for building the weave patterns. Illustrations with colored patterns further assist in understanding the process.
