As a part of our advance weave classroom project, we learnt compound weave structures just like -Terry,Leno,Imitation Inlay,Backed Fabric,Extra weft,Extra warp,Quilting e.t.c
Imitation inlay creates one pattern on one side and a different pattern with different colours on the opposite side.
Leno , also called Gauze, is the name given to a fabric characterized by its openwork effect
Extra warp- In certain classes of fabrics the ornamentation or figuring is done by using extra threads which are made to interlace with the ground fabric at intervals.
Special warp and weft is a weave used for the ornamentation and figuring of fabrics.
The backed fabrics employ a face and back weave alternatively on the two sides of the cloth. These weaves may be of a reversible or non-reversible nature. These types of fabrics are mainly constructed for two purposes:-
i) Increasing the warmth retaining qualities of the cloth
ii) Secure a greater weight and substance that can be acquired in a single structure which is equally fine on the surface.

Terry belongs to a certain class of warp pile structure in which certain warp ends are made to form loops on the surface of the cloth. Terry structures are constructed by using one series of weft threads and two series of warp threads; one for the ground and the other for the pile. The ground warp interlaces with the ground weft to form the ground cloth from which the loops formed by the pile ends project.
