Dobby Fabric

What is Dobby Fabric?

• Fabric made on a dobby loom has a rough appearance due to the dobby weave pattern.
• Both the warp and the weft of the fabric are of the same color.
• To bring attention to the rough design of the cloth, satin threads are sometimes used.
• Although the cloth is woven via a loom, as is the case with other forms of weaving, a piece of specialized equipment known as a dobby is required in order to connect the fabric to the loom. The use of this dobby machine makes it possible to create prints that are woven into the cloth.
• Designs produced by a dobby loom have a propensity to be repetitive and patterned all over the surface.
• The dobby fabric is constructed using a wide array of fibers, including cotton, silk, nylon, and so on.

History

• In the year 1840, the production of the Fabric began for the very first time. 
• During the weaving process, a dobby is necessary in order to properly connect the Fabric to the loom. This is also the case while weaving other types of textiles. 
• Using this dobby technology, it is possible to create prints that are woven directly into the fabric. 
• Hence, this was the origin of "Dobby Fabric."
