Diamond Design :
Diamond design is a derivative of twill weave. Diamond design is developed on the basis of pointed principle. It is build-up by the combination of vertical and horizontal zig-zag weave. The repeat size of diamond design is also calculated from the regular or base twill weave. In this case number of both warp and weft yarns in diamond weave are double of the number of warp and weft yarn of base twill respectively.
For example,
if the repeat size of basic regular twill is 4X4, than the repeat size of diamond design is 8X8.
There is several system to build up diamond design. At first select the repeat size according to the basic twill. Then repeat size is divided into four quadrants. Now the basic twill is put in every quadrant by the change of direction of twill line in this way that the opposite twill line of every twill should be parallel and they produce an angle at the changing point.
Features :
* Diamond design is found by the combination of horizontal and vertical zig-zag twill.
* It is constructed or formed on the basis of principle of pointed.
* No. of both warp and weft threads are double than that of the base twill in the repeat.
* Pointed draft is found.
* The design area is divided into 4 equal parts.
* Diamond designs are symmetrical about their vertical and horizontal axis.
Uses:
Towel, bed sheet, wrappers, pillow covers, table cloth,
curtain, sofa cover and many other house hold fabrics can be made by this
weave.
