Abstract

Plaited fabric is a type of textile that is created by interlacement of warp & weft threads or by interloping with two or more sets of yarns or threads, resulting in a unique and distinctive appearance. This unique construction results in a fabric that is both durable and versatile, making it a popular choice for a variety of applications, including apparel, upholstery, and home décor. The two sets of yarns in a plaited fabric are interlaced in a way that each set floats over and under the other, creating a pattern of interlocking loops. This interlocking structure gives plaited fabrics their characteristic strength and resilience. In this article, we will explore the meaning and definition of plaited fabric, its types, handling tips, a brief history/origin, and an overview of its top international users or manufacturers.
