Stranded Weave

A weave in which both warp and weft consist of several wires twisted together instead of single wires. This provides an exceptionally strong cloth especially when twill woven. An even tighter weave is obtained when the cloth is rolled or calendared. In stranded warp weave, the warp consists of several wires twisted together while the weft is of single wires. See Weaving Wire and Woven Wire Mesh.
