(Part-1 Introduction of Mock leno weave)(Part-2 Construction of Mock Leno weave)
- Mock-leno weave design has a kind of reversible design effect.

| Mock-Leno weave fabric |
- Mock leno weave is basically an image of the leno effect because mock leno weave creates a variety of ordinary construction that are similar in appearance to the gauze or leno style.
Characteristics of Mock leno weave
- It is an open perforated weave like leno fabrics.
- Mock leno produced in an ordinary way. (Without a special leno shaft mock leno is produced.)
- Mock leno has quite a similarity with huckaback weave, but due to the thread grouping method of denting is going to be different.
- The weave is arranged in groups. These groups have either the same size or different sizes.
- Even a number of design sizes is possible and the smallest repeat size is 6X6.
- In mock leno, ends are not going to cross each other but threads are alternately floating on the face or backside of the fabric.
- Ends from each individual group are possibly drawn with the common dent.
- Bunching of threads and floating of threads cause a slight gap or opening area between fabric surfaces in appearance.
- This appearance is similar to the gauge effect or leno weave, hence the mock leno name is suitable for this weave.
End-uses of Mockleno weave
- Embroidery cloth
- Canvas cloth
- Cheap fabrics like lightweight window curtain
- Blouses and light dress wear, aprons
