This colour-base may be applied to cotton textures and light fabrics, when the colourings should be considerably brighter than those enumerated. For variety of effect, it is one of the most important colourings included in the ordinary series of irregular elementary styles.

Elementary colour patterns

149. Cross-Weftings.—This term is applied to weft colouring which does not correspond with the warp colouring as to order of shades. All the Simple, and many of the Compound special Schemes of Colouring may be cross-wefted. As a result, another form of coloured pattern is obtained from that due to applying the same order of wefting as warping.

The following scheme (Fig. 101) is typical:⁠—

Warp.
3 black. 3 white.
Wefts.
(a) 1 black. ⎫ Woven in the [2/2] twill.
1 white. ⎪
(b) 2 black. ⎬

(c) 4 black. ⎪

(d) 1 black. ⎫ In the [3/3] twill.

(e) 2 black. ⎫ In the [2/2] mat.

STYLES DUE TO SIMPLE ORDERS OF COLOURING

On Plate XXII., some further examples of the effects of cross-wefting are illustrated. The orders of warping and wefting are as follows:⁠—

Warping. Wefting.
Series A to A3. Series I.
2 dark. Same as warp for Series A to A3.
2 light.
Series B to B3. Series II.
3 dark. Same as warp for Series B to B3.
3 light.
Series C to C3. Series III.
6 dark. Same as warp for Series C to C3.
6 light.
Series D to D3. Series IV.
4 dark. Same as warp for Series D to D3.
4 light.
2 dark.
2 light.

Patterns A, B1, C2, and D3 are woven as warped, but other specimens are cross-wefted. Of the latter, the following are regular styles and correct pattern bases:—A1, A2, B, C, C1, C3, D, D1, and D2. Examples A2, D2, and D3 are striped or lined across, showing that in extreme differences between the warping and wefting, irregular forms of pattern or effect result: e.g. A2 warped 2-and-2, and wefted 6-and-6; and D2 and D3 warped 3-and-3, and woven 6-and-6, and 4, 4, 2, 2 respectively.
