Gauze weaving is an open weave made by twisting adjacent warps together. Dobby weaves are limited to simple, small geometric figures, with the design repeated frequently, and are fairly inexpensive to produce.

They are made on looms having a dobby attachment, with narrow strips of wood instead of Jacquard cards. Dobby weavesĭobby weaves also produce allover figured fabrics.

The Jacquard weave usually combines two or more basic weaves, with different weaves used for the design and the background. Fabrics of this type are costly because of the time and skill involved in making the Jacquard cards, preparing the loom to produce a new pattern, and the slowness of the weaving operation. The Jacquard weave, used to make allover figured fabrics such as brocades, tapestries, and damasks, is woven on a loom having a Jacquard attachment to control individual warps.
