In a recent episode of A Handwoven Experience, I talked you through the world of weft-faced fabric, so it only seems right that we also tackle warp-faced fabric!
You might think that those two styles are just different sides of the same coin. However, because the weft and the warp have polar opposite functions, there are unique things to consider in each scenario.
So, let’s dive into the world of warp-faced fabric to see how this works.

Overview of sett – Cathy Ingebretsen published an interesting 1-pager about sett – including a great description of weft-faced and warp-faced fabric.
