Crepes

CREPES

These are made in many widths and qualities, and in cotton, wool, rayon, silk and combinations of these, such as cotton warp and rayon weft, rayon warp and silk weft, etc. In crepes dependent solely on the contractile power of highly twisted yarns for producing a wrinkled pebble or figure effect, the hard-twisted warps and wefts are used in various ways, as follows: - In each case R= right twist; L=left or reverse twist. Warp 2 R, 2 L, alternately. Weft all one twist. Warp 2 R, 2 L, alternately. Weft 2 R, 2 L. Warp all one twist. Weft 2 R, 2 L alternately. Warp 1 R, 1 L, alternately. Weft 2 R, 2 L, alternately. Other arrangements of warp and weft are also used.
