Crapes.—This is a name given to weaves of a small “seedy” effect. Good effects of this kind are produced by Figs. [302] and [303], which repeat on ten ends and six picks, and six ends and six picks, respectively. Another very largely used pattern is that at [Fig. 304]. This is a pattern of rather peculiar construction, as both sides of the cloth are alike, and the small floats of three are bent somewhat out of a straight line. The reason for this can be seen by a careful examination of the pattern. Patterns of the same character, but with very large repeats, are often used. In many of these there is no regularity in the construction of the pattern. The chief object is to get a perfect all-over effect free from lines or rows. This can be accomplished by keeping about the same amount of float on every pick and distributing the floats as evenly as possible. A pattern of this kind, on forty picks and sixteen ends, is given at [Fig. 305]. It will be seen that each pick has two floats on it.
