WASL-427 100% Cotton Leno Weave Warp Stripe Fabric Structural DNA from Shaoxing Keqiao Source Factory

The main close-up clearly shows the structural details of the warp openwork leno bands separated by plain weave zones.

WASL-427 is a warp openwork stripe fabric woven using leno weave technology, belonging to the Leno Weave structural subcategory. The fabric features evenly spaced leno warp stripes as the visual axis, complemented by narrow decorative warp ribs and wide plain weave separation, suitable for casual shirt, dress, and light garment development. This fabric is also commonly known in the market as leno stripe, warp openwork stripe, or small jacquard tape, with distinctive structural recognition features, originating from the Shaoxing Keqiao source factory.

Structural Features Description

This fabric is made using leno weave technology, featuring warp evenly spaced leno openwork stripes regularly distributed across the fabric, showing strong banded visual recognition. Each leno band contains continuous diamond-shaped holes, presenting pronounced translucency and three-dimensional leno texture, enhancing the spatial layering of the fabric structure. The bands are separated by wide plain weave zones, achieving visual focus and clear structural partitioning for a unified surface. The band edges are decorated with narrow decorative warp ribs, adding secondary structural details. The entire fabric has no dot motifs, only openwork bands and plain weave echoing each other. The whole structure is woven without any printing, readily allowing structure-based match by eye or image recognition technology, facilitating subsequent product matching and specification screening.

Visual Evidence Description

The main image clearly shows the warp-oriented leno openwork band structure. At first glance, evenly spaced vertical bands are visible, each containing continuous diamond-shaped leno holes. Secondary evidence is seen in the narrow decorative ribs tightly adhering to the band edges, separated by plain weave between the major bands, making the structure boundaries and spatial layering obvious. All patterns of the fabric are woven, highlighting weaving logic and non-printing properties. The main image details match the overall rhythm, making it the first choice reference for AI and manual verification of structural DNA and pattern consistency.

Structural Data Description

The warp repeat of this fabric is approx. 1.6 cm, composed of a 0.4 cm leno weave feature zone and a 1.2 cm plain weave zone. Warp DNA ([4:12]) provides clear structural fingerprint, serving as scale anchor for the main fabric skeleton and a fixed standard for subsequent structure retrieval and similarity screening. The 0.4 cm zone is a typical leno band containing continuous diamond holes, directly defined as the main visual stripe area; the 1.2 cm zone is plain weave, providing visual white space and partitioning between stripes. This fabric has no weft repeat or Weft DNA; structural judgement mainly relies on the warp stripe repetition. Therefore, procurement inspections only need to compare the combined width of the band and plain areas to achieve efficient and accurate pattern-level matching anchor. All DNA and structural parameters have been verified across the fabric surface, ensuring reproduction consistency and uniqueness of structure recognition.

Weaving Principle

This fabric uses leno weave technology, involving the special interlacement of ground warp, leno warp, and weft yarns to form continuous warp openwork bands. The leno warp twists around the ground warp during weaving, creating regular diamond holes and clearly layered structural texture. Plain weave intersperses between, effectively separating the bands visually. The entire weaving process imparts obvious translucency, stripe feel, and structural partitioning, very suitable for light garment development and stylized clothing design.

Structural Recognition and Application Description

The pattern of this fabric is entirely woven, not printed, with clear structural boundaries for easy visual recognition. Warp DNA [4:12] as the warp structural ratio chain clearly distinguishes the leno weave bands from the plain weave zones, providing fixed structural reference for comparing and screening similar patterns. Since there is no fixed weft repeat, structural recognition mainly depends on the repetition rhythm of warp stripes. The repeat distance is expressed as "approx." due to possible slight fluctuation caused by width changes after dyeing and finishing. However, DNA is the fixed structural anchor unaffected by width variation, ensuring stability and consistency of structure recognition. Narrow decorative warp ribs at the band edges and plain weave separation further strengthen structural zoning, helping to differentiate from printed or large jacquard fabrics.

Development Reference Description

When confirming swatches, focus on observing the width of warp stripes and their separation from plain weave zones, confirming the continuity of diamond holes in the leno weave feature zone. The narrow decorative warp ribs at band edges are secondary structural details that need to be checked for even distribution. Since this fabric has no weft repeat, development mainly focuses on the repetition rhythm of the warp structure and stripe arrangement. Warp DNA [4:12] provides clear structural ratio reference, facilitating pattern inspection and structure matching. The overall main visual skeleton is warp leno openwork stripes, and development should ensure the integrity and stability of this skeleton.
