Abstract
There is provided a method of manufacturing a woven textile, in which a plurality of warp yarns is interlaced with a plurality of weft yarns. A selvedge is formed by interlacing a first subset of the warp yarns with a first subset of the weft yarns and interlacing a second subset of the warp yarns with a second subset of the weft yarns. The first subset of the warp yarns is not interlaced with the second subset of the weft yarns and the second subset of the warp yarns is not interlaced with the first subset of the weft yarns. The method may be used to manufacture a multilayer textile.
Claims12
A method of manufacturing a woven textile, the method comprising:
- interlacing a plurality of warp yarns with a plurality of weft yarns wherein one or more of the warp yarns comprises one or more first threads, each of the first threads being a tape and one or more of the weft yarns comprises one or more second threads, each of the second threads being a tape;
- and
- forming a selvedge as distinct bands of woven material by interlacing a first subset of the warp yarns with a first subset of the weft yarns and interlacing a second subset of the warp yarns with a second subset of the weft yarns,
- wherein the first subset of the warp yarns is not interlaced with the second subset of the weft yarns and the second subset of the warp yarns is not interlaced with the first subset of the weft yarns;
- and
- removing the selvedge by severing one or more of the weft yarns.
