    Balkline succeeded the champion's game, adding more rules to curb nursing techniques. In the balkline games, the entire table is divided into rectangular balk spaces, by drawing pairs of balklines lengthwise and widthwise across the table parallel from each rail. This divides the table into nine rectangular balkspaces.

  3. Diaphanoeca grandis - Wikipedia

    These lengthwise costae are made of strips equal in number to how many outer widthwise costae there are (typically twelve). The front most of the lengthwise costae is tight and constricted, appearing to have two strands. All of the strips of the lengthwise costae are roughly the same length, and they are only attached to the outer costae by one ...

  4. Warp and weft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warp_and_weft

    In the manufacture of cloth, warp and weft are the two basic components in weaving to transform thread and yarn into textile fabrics. The vertical warp yarns are held stationary in tension on a loom (frame) while the horizontal weft (also called the woof) is drawn through (inserted over and under) the warp thread. [1]

  5. Twisted stitch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twisted_stitch

    Fabrics made with plaited stitches are stiffer than normal and "draw in" sideways, i.e., have a smaller widthwise gauge. Extra-long, full-turn clockwise plaited stitches can be made by knitting through the back loop and wrapping the yarn twice; this is an attractive stitch when repeated in a row, creating openness and a change in scale that ...

  6. Möbius strip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Möbius_strip

    If, instead, a Möbius strip is cut lengthwise, a third of the way across its width, it produces two linked strips. One of the two is a central, thinner, Möbius strip, while the other has two half-twists. [6] These interlinked shapes, formed by lengthwise slices of Möbius strips with varying widths, are sometimes called paradromic rings. [17 ...

  8. Warp knitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warp_knitting

    Basic pattern of warp knitting. Parallel yarns zigzag lengthwise along the fabric, each loop securing a loop of an adjacent strand from the previous row. Warp knitting is defined as a loop-forming process in which the yarn is fed into the knitting zone, parallel to the fabric selvage. It forms vertical loops in one course and then moves ...

  9. Stretch fabric - Wikipedia

    A lycra jacket. Stretch fabric is a synthetic fabric that stretches. Stretch fabrics are either 2-way stretch or 4-way stretch. 2-way stretch fabrics stretch in one direction, usually from selvedge to selvedge (but can be in other directions depending on the knit). 4-way stretch fabrics, such as spandex, stretches in both directions, crosswise and lengthwise.
