First installment of a German-language article on crepe fabrics and the crepe weave structures used to make them. It describes three ways to give a fabric a crepe character: finishing with engraved calenders, using hard-twisted yarns (S and Z twist in warp and weft, or yarns that shrink in finishing such as mercerizing), and weaving with crepe bindings whose scattered floats break up reflected light. It announces that later parts will examine how common crepe bindings are derived and how new ones can be constructed. This page contains no drafts, and the article ends with "Fortsetzung folgt".
