The broken yarns show fabric defects. Shuttle looms are very noisy and PPM (Picks Per Minute�How many wefts laid in one minute) is 110 to 225. On the other hand looms that uses other devices to bring the filling yarn through the shed are called shuttleless looms. The source of the yarn for shuttleless looms are cones placed at the sides of the loom. Shuttle-less looms gives very high productivity at the same time they are less noisy when compared to shuttle-looms. They also have high productivity and fewer fabric faults.

Properties of Plain weave: 1. Both sides are reversible until fabric is painted or printed from right side. 2. Fabrics have high abrasion resistance. 3. No yarn slippage. 4. There is no distinct design unless yarns have contrasting colors or thickness.
