Jacquard Figured Weaves
category
Jacquard figured weaves use the Jacquard machine to control each warp end individually according to a programmed design, enabling the creation of unlimited repeat size patterns, realistic pictorial imagery, complex floral and botanical motifs, and all forms of large-scale figured fabric that require individual end control beyond the shaft grouping capability of dobby, with modern electronic Jacquard machines controlling from 400 to 10000 hooks providing the individual end selection that defines this category.
Role
Represents the highest design complexity achievable in woven fabric production through the individual end control that enables photographic-quality imagery, unlimited repeat sizes, and design complexity with no structural constraint on pattern content, with Jacquard weaving being the technology underlying damask, brocade, tapestry, upholstery, and all complex figured woven fabric categories that form the premium segment of woven fabric production globally.
