Filter Cloth: Weaving

Step 3- Weaving the Cloth

Warping
Yarn is pulled from tension controlled creels and precisely wrapped onto warps in preparation for the loom. When positioned behind the loom the warp yarns (which run in the length of the cloth) are inserted through heddles. The heddles are raised and lowered to create a shed (opening) through which the fill yarn is inserted to create the weave pattern.






Weaving
High speed, sophisticated, computer controlled looms raise and lower the heddles and "take up" the woven fabric, to create the geometric patterns of our filter cloth design. The precise positioning and tensioning of yarns creates the exact thread count (threads per inch or cm.) every time the pattern is manufactured.
