XIII.—Tying-up Jacquard Looms for Gauze Fabrics.

Gauze fabrics are produced by a separate system of weaves, which have the peculiar characteristic of warp-threads not lying parallel to each other. One kind of this warp is called the “douping warp” or “whip-threads;” these are twisted around the ground-warp. The ground-threads, as well as the whip-threads, which work together, must be drawn into one dent.

Jacquard gauze can be worked in various ways; for example: One whip-thread against one or more ground-threads. More than one whip-thread against one or more ground-threads.
