Multi-directional elastic woven fabric

A method of manufacturing an elastic fabric, comprising:

• determining a density ratio of the elastic fabric based on a set of rules, wherein the density ratio has a range from 1.1 to 2.625, the density ratio being a ratio of a warp density to a weft density;
• determining the weft density of a weft yarn of the elastic fabric based on the set of rules and the density ratio;
• determining the warp density of a warp yarn of the elastic fabric based on the density ratio, the weft density, and the set of rules;
• and
• forming warp yarns of the elastic fabric based on the warp density;
• and
• forming weft yarns of the elastic fabric based on the weft density.

A manufacturing system having one or more pieces of machinery for manufacturing an elastic fabric, the system configured to perform steps comprising:

• receiving an input about a weaving pattern;
• determining a density ratio of the elastic fabric based on a set of rules and the received weaving pattern, wherein the density ratio has a range from 1.1 to 2.625, the density ratio being a ratio of a warp density to a weft density;
• determining the weft density of a weft yarn of the elastic fabric based on the set of rules and the density ratio;
• determining the warp density of a warp yarn of the elastic fabric based on the density ratio, the weft density, and the set of rules;
• and
• forming warp yarns of the elastic fabric based on the warp density;
• and
• forming weft yarns of the elastic fabric based on the weft density.
