<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 403267, member: 8267"]The surface of a textile can be "weft faced", meaning the horizontal threads cover the vertical warp, as in tapestry. It can be "warp faced", meaning the vertical warp is most visible. Or it can be even, where warp and weft are equally visible. it has to do with how closely the warp is spaced on the loom and how tightly the weft is packed during weaving. All three effects can be created in both hand weaving and machine weaving.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
