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.
