Study Notes
Huckaback Weaves
- Huckaback is a coarse, absorbent linen or cotton fabric, often used for towels and glass cloths.
- The unique structure of huckaback weaves gives the fabric good moisture-absorbing properties.
- The weave structure is similar to a checkerboard, based on a plain weave with loose floats.
- The plain weave portion provides firmness and durability, while the loose floats enhance moisture absorption.
Types of Huckaback Weaves
- Huckaback weaves are classified by their structure:
- Ordinary Huckaback
- Reversible Huckaback
- Grecian Huckaback
(1) Ordinary Huckaback
- Example 1: Construct Ordinary huckaback on 12 threads.
- The solution involves creating a plain weave throughout the entire design.
- Then, create floats in any two opposite diagonal portions.
- Example 2: Construct 8 threads ordinary huckaback on 16 x 16 threads.
- A solution to create the weave is shown.
- Example 3: Construct 10 threads ordinary huckaback
- A solution for the construction is illustrated.
(2) Reversible Huckaback
- Example 1: Construct reversible huckaback on 14 threads.
- Create a plain weave in two opposite diagonal portions, as demonstrated.
- The reverse of the design in the left hand bottom portion should be placed in the right hand top portion.
- Fill the remaining portion with plain weave.
- Example 2: Construct 10 thread reversible huckaback on 20 x 20 threads.
- A solution is illustrated.
- Example 3: Construct reversible huckaback on 18 threads.
- A solution figure is shown.
(3) Grecian Huckaback
- Example 1: Construct Grecian huckaback on 12 threads.
- Create a plain weave in two diagonal portions.
- Create floats on alternate ends in these diagonal portions.
- The remaining diagonal portions are filled in reverse of the initial diagonal portions.
- Example 2: Construct Grecian huckaback on 14 threads.
- A solution illustration is shown.
- Example 3: Construct Grecian huckaback on 18 threads.
- A solution representation is shown.
