Method for Producing Waffle-weave Fabrics With an Octagonal Relief Element

Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: The paper proposes a new method for producing waffle-weave fabrics with an octagonal relief element. It extends the method for waffle weaves with a hexagonal relief element: an even number of extra threads is inserted into the centre of the initial rhombic weave in both the warp and the weft at the same time. The rhombus turns into an octagonal cell, the repeat grows to Rₒ = Rᵧ = Rb + n, the floats become longer and the fabric becomes more porous. Ways to raise the air permeability and moisture absorption of a towel fabric made of cotton yarn Nm 54/2 and Nm 34/2 in the warp and Nm 27/1 in the weft are shown.
