Plain weave (also called tabby weave , linen weave or taffeta weave ) is the most basic of the three basic types textile woven (together with satin and twill). It is strong and hard wear, used for fashion and furniture fabrics.
In plain weave, warp and feed are aligned to form a simple cross pattern. Each thread feeds through the threads of the warp through it, then down, and so on. The next feeding yarn is beneath the warp threads whose neighbors go, and vice versa. Balanced plain weaving is a cloth in which the warp and yarn are made of yarns of the same size (size) and the number of edges per inch equal to the size per inch.
A balanced, plain weave can be identified by the appearance of a plankboard. This is also known as the one-up-one-down weaving pattern or above and below.
Examples of plain woven fabrics are chiffon, organza, percale and taffeta.

Setting
According to the 12th-century geographer al-Idr? S, the city of AlmerÃa in Andalusia makes imitations of Iraqi and Persian sutras called 'att? B? , which David Jacoby identified as "silk and cotton tafeta fabrics (natural fibers) originally produced in Attabiya, a district in Baghdad."
