Fabric construction methods include:
1. Weaving: This is the process of constructing fabrics by interlacing two sets of yarns (the warp and the weft yarns) at right angles to produce a woven fabric. Woven fabrics are strong. Weaving is done on looms. The two set of yarns that form the woven fabric are:
(i) Warp: the yarn or thread that runs length-wise in the woven fabric.
(ii) Filling or weft: is the yarn or thread that runs cross-wise in a woven fabric. The fillings are carried over and under the warp threads.

(i) Plain weaves: in plain weave, the weft and warp yarns pass over and under each other regularly and at right angles.
