Imitation or Mock Gauzes.—The somewhat intricate,mounting required to produce gauze fabrics has led to nume-rous ingenious attempts to obtain a gauze effect in the texturewithout increasing the complication of the weaving of the most important methods of accomplishing thisis shown in fig. 100. The small weave in this design, markedin crosses, yields such a perfect imitation of gauze properthat its spurious structure is very difficult to detect. It is 282 COLOUR IN WOVEN DESIGN. only by careful analysis that one is able to trace its commonprinciples of intertexture. The weave in crosses of thisdesign so groups the threads and picks that they result informing a fabric replete with diminutive perforations likethe real gauze. It is used in combination with the plain weaveand fancy makes in the originat
