What is "plain weave"?

Plain weave is a basic weaving technique where the threads are woven over and under each other in a simple pattern. In this method, the horizontal threads, known as weft, pass over and under the vertical threads, known as warp, alternately. This creates a strong, even fabric with a flat surface and a straightforward texture. Plain weave is commonly used in textiles for items such as shirts, sheets, and towels because of its durability and versatility.
