Explain the decorative weaves with suitable examples.

1. 1 · Open in two lines. Decorative weaves add pattern or texture to cloth using special loom attachments or extra sets of yarns. They are used for dress, furnishing and household linen.
2. 2 · Draw key structures. [Sketches: leno crossing of paired warps; terry loops; velvet woven face to face and cut; double cloth with binder]
3. 3 · Dobby and jacquard.
   • Dobby: many harnesses, small geometric figures; huckaback, bird's-eye.
   • Jacquard: each warp controlled; large figures; brocade, damask, sari borders.
4. 4 · Leno and swivel.
   • Leno: crossed warp pairs, open firm mesh; marquisette, mosquito net.
   • Swivel: extra weft spots by small shuttles; dotted swiss.
5. 5 · Pile weaves.
   • Warp pile: velvet, terry, plush.
   • Weft pile: corduroy, velveteen.
6. 6 · Double weaves. Double-faced (three sets), double weave (four sets, pockets) and double cloth (five sets, can be cut apart).
7. 7 · Daily-life link. Terry towels for kitchens and wards; leno sacks for stores; damask for banquet tables.
8. 8 · Close in one line. Decorative weaves turn the basic interlacing into figured, open, piled or layered fabrics for special uses.

Scoring tip: Give one Indian example where you can (Banarasi brocade, Solapur terry, Kanchipuram borders); examiners like local examples.
