Crimps

Crimps
CRIMPS
A plain weave cloth woven from two beams, usually differently weighted, and with different counts of yarn. The finer warp is tight and the coarser slack. This difference in counts and tension causes the coarse parts to crimp and become prominent. Coloured yams are often used. Many qualities ate made. One make has 80 ends and 60 picks per inch, 32's T. and 2/60's colour, 30's W. A fine cotton crimp in stripe form, and a check crimp are illustrated. Crimps are also produced from botany and mohair yarns in many qualities, the crimp effect being obtained through the different shrinkage of the two yarns
