The use of metallic threads in warp and weft to produce women's fabrics executed on Dobby looms

Women's fabrics are artworks that rely on aesthetic experience throughout the ages. women's fabrics in the Egyptian market lack the compatibility with international fashion, especially in the use of metal threads in the production of these fabrics, as well as the difficulty of operating these threads as warps The research was based on the production of (15) samples on the dobby machine, where three arrangements of metal threads and cotton threads were made in both warp and weft This is done by using five different tissue structures while keeping the count of both warp and weft, the density of the warp in the cm, and the number of picks in cm, Then laboratory tests were conducted on these samples and statistical analysis was carried out. The results of the research benefited him from the possibility of warping metal threads and using them at a rate of up to 12% of the warp and weft threads in designing women's fabrics without affecting the properties of tensile strength and elongation in the direction of the warp or weft of the fabrics made with the research samples. There was also a non-significant effect on the hardness property of the research samples carried out under the study. Increasing the percentage of metallic threads from 3% to 12% led to an increase in the time of moisture absorption in the research samples under study
