Here are two types of plain weave, weft-faced weaving, where the weft covers the warp, and rip weaving where the warp dominates the weft. In weft-faced weaving the warp is usually quite coarse, for example cotton 12/6 or linen 8/4, and a coarse reed 25/10, 30/10 or 35/10 is used, so the weft can be compacted enough to cover the warp. In a rib based weaving the warp is very dense and the weft is coarse so the weft thread can hardly be seen. It is common to use a fine thread, cotton 16/2, 20/2 or linen 16/2 up to 40 threads per cm. Usually there are two threads together in each heddle and four of more threads together in the reed.
