Nowadays authentic textile motifs are becoming very popular. The latest fashion trends show that the expressed relief and texture of fabrics are common. Combining these two tendencies, 8 fabrics of two-layer spatial structure were woven. It was established that the area density increases after finishing, the breaking force decreases, and the elongation at break increases. The abrasion resistance depends on the fabric structure. If fabric is woven with part A, the abrasion resistance increases after finishing, and if it is woven without part A, the abrasion resistance decreases. Theoretical calculation of area density of two-layer fabrics is presented. The formula suggested is accurate because the error is low.
Region of East Prussia is investigated very low inLithuania and in Poland. The aim of this investigation is to make complex analysis and to compare folk home textile of East Prussia weaved in territories of Lithuania and Poland presenting technological recommendations for reconstructions manufacturing. In this work there were investigated 56 folk home textile pieces (27 bedspreads and 29 tablecloths) from 5 Lithuanian museums and 2 Polish museums. Number of pieces, patterns, weaves, colours, number of heald shafts etc. and their chronological tendencies were established during investigation. According to the separated samples of home textile from East Prussia region, the reconstructions of home textile fabrics were designed and weaved: 24 units (123.77 m), 12 units of them-with industrial weaving loom, 12 units-with hand weaving loom.
In the article weaves and colours of Lithuanian folk skirts fabrics are analysed. The investigation objects are the skirts from funds of three Lithuanian Museums: 258 skirts from National M. K. Čiurlionis Museum of Art, 85 skirts from Lithuanian Open Air Museum and 16 skirts from A. and A. Tamošaitis gallery "Židinys". Distribution of skirts fabrics according to weaves was estimated, and it shows, that fabrics of plain weave are most widespread (53 %), combined and twill weaves are less popular (19 % and 18 %, respectively). The weaves of fabrics are determined during investigation and plans of weave were made proposing recommendations for manufacturing of similar fabrics. Also distribution of colours and number of colours in the fabrics were analysed. The biggest number of colours is in fabrics of simple weaves (plain and twill), and the most characteristic are green, red, black and blue colours.
In the article 258 Lithuanian folk skirts from National M. K. Čiurlionis Museum of Art and 85 skirts from Lithuanian Open Air Museum are investigated. The weaves and plans of weave of skirts fabrics are made. Also the composing of plans of weave is analysed in aspect of segment, ornament and symmetry group of patterned fabric weave. Also the symmetry groups of Lithuanian folk skirts fabrics and their distribution according to the fabric weave are analysed. The tendencies of symmetry groups and peculiarities of composing of plans of weave can help to recreate the reconstructions of authentic folk fabrics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
