| Term | Main definition |
|---|---|
| warp-faced | warp ends hide the weft completely on the surface of the cloth. Warp-faced has also sometimes been used as a synonym for warp-dominant. |
| warp-faced compound tabby | a warp-faced pattern weave with two or more complementary sets of warp, one of which appears on the face while the other(s) are on the back. Even picks separate the sets of warps to determine the set (color) on the face. Odd picks bind the warp sets in alternate ('tabby') order, thus the name warp-faced compound tabby. Warp sets bound in twill order are called warp-faced compound twill. |
| weft-faced | wefts completely hide the warp. Some sources use 'weft-faced' to describe a weft-dominant surface. |
| weft-faced compound tabby | a weft-faced pattern weave with two or more sets of complementary wefts. Even warp ends separate the weft sets so that one set (color) is on the surface of the cloth and the other(s) on the back. Odd warp ends bind the complementary wefts in alternate (tabby) order, thus the name weft-faced compound tabby, also called taquete and summer and winter polychrome. Complementary weft sets bound in twill order are weft-faced compound twill, also called samitum. |
