| Abstract [eng] |
In the second part of the article, Lithuanian folk skirt fabrics are researched according to weave. 7 fabric groups, from which the group of plain weave is the most widespread, were selected. The second most common are twill weaves. In this article twill weaves are discussed wider by presenting their classification and plans of weave. Moreover, the prevalence of weaves were researched chronologically. The results show the predomination of plain and twill weaves in skirts of the XIX century, and various derived, combined weaves became more popular from the middle of the XIX century. These weaves started to be used gradually for geometrical patterns and fabric decoration. Comparison of the weaving tradition of skirts with respect to territory shows some similarities between the pattern and weave of Lithuanian fabric and those of neighboring countries. |
