Concept:
Fabric varieties are classified based on the complexity of the loom attachment used (Dobby/Jacquard) or the specific surface structure (Pile fabrics).
Step 1: Analyze the structural characteristics.
• Corduroy: This is a durable fabric with a "ribbed" surface. It is a Cut Pile fabric where the extra filling yarns are cut to create vertical ridges of tufts.
• Brocade: This is a heavy, decorative fabric featuring an elaborate raised pattern. Such intricate, non-repetitive designs require a Jacquard loom.
• Terry towel: Known for its absorbency, it is an Uncut Pile fabric where the loops are left intact on the surface.
• Bird's eye: This fabric features a small, geometric, repetitive diamond pattern. These simple patterns are produced using a Dobby attachment.
