Rib weave is a basic weave pattern which is characterized by prominent ribs
in the weft. In this type of weave, the warp yarns and the filling yarns are
of different widths. Usually the filling yarns are fatter than the warp
yarns. It creates a series of horizontal ribs.
Rib weave has a substantially higher number of yarns per inch only in one
direction. Several yarns are grouped together to form one. The resulting
fabrics of rib weave are abrasion resistant and have tear strength.
