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.
