41 Toilet Cloths
TOILET CLOTHS, TOILETINGSTerms applied to a number of fabrics such as bed quilts or counterpanes, dressing-table covers, and connote a distinctive type of fabric, the chief feature of which is a face cloth in the plain weave, stitched down according to a prearranged design by means of a tightly-woven binding warp. This causes the figure to stand out in relief, and this feature is enhanced when wadding weft is used. Many qualities are made, including loose-backs, e.g., those in which the tight figuring threads float at the back when not forming figure; half-fast backs in which the figuring threads are partly bound by interlacing with some back picks; and fast backs, in which there is a back pick for every card so that the figuring ends are well bound at the back, usually in the plain weave. The cloths are known as 2-pick, 3-pick, 4-pick, 5-pick and 6-pick toilets according to the number of picks inserted at each figuring shed. -
42 Treble Cloths

44 Warp Faced Cloths
Cloths that have a preponderance of warp showing on the face. This may be due to the weave only, to the use of a greater number of warp ends per inch than weft picks, or to a combination of both factors. (See Warp Sateen) -
45 Watering Or Moire Cloths
A method of finishing fabrics which produces a moire effect. To obtain effective moireing weft ribbed or repp cloths are used, and two pieces are passed face to face through a calender consisting of steel and compressed paper bowls, the goods having been previously damped. Under suitable conditions of heat, moisture and pressure, some of the ribs are flattened and others are not, resulting in the production of the characteristic moire effect. Moireing can also be done by the use of engraved rollers, but such a finish is fugitive as no permanent deformation of the weft ribs takes place.Dictionary of the English textile terms > Watering Or Moire Cloths

50 Double Cloths
A general term applied to many textures in which two fabrics each with its own warp and weft are combined together. The primary object is to produce a heavier cloth than could be done in a single texture, without spoiling the fineness and the weave of the face cloth. Very often the face weave is quite different from that of the back. In woollens, and overcoatings in particular, double cloth weaving permits the production of fancy checks on the back, while the face cloth is finer in appearance. Sometimes the back is made plainer and heavier than the face, principally to add bulk to the fabric. The illustration shows a woollen material with a check face and twill back.
