Describes methods for recording of fabric weaves and makes provision for showing in relation to the weave repeat the sequence in which yarns of different character are used.

This part of ISO 7211 deals with recording of fabric weaves and makes provision for showing in relation to the weave repeat the sequence in which yarns of different character are used. A method is also provided for the presentation of the warp and weft yarn arrangement.

This part of ISO 7211 applies to all woven fabrics, including compound fabrics in which interlacing of the warp and weft threads is accompanied by crossing of warp threads.

NOTE If only a small sample, e.g. 4 cm × 4 cm, is available and it is desired to carry out further tests as described in other parts of this International Standard, the following order should be observed:

1. Measure the area of the sample and determine the mass per unit area.
2. Analyse for weave, keeping the removed threads.
3. Use the removed threads to determine the masses of warp and weft per unit area and/or linear density.
