Jacquard weave is used to produce patterned fabrics. The intricate patterns or figures are created all over the fabrics. It is woven on a jacquard loom. This type of loom differs with standard looms. It has a jacquard attachment or a punch card. In a jacquard loom, the warp yarn is individually controlled and not in groups. This allows creating more complex designs.

Jacquard weave was invented by a Frenchman named Joseph Marie Jacquired. Fabrics of jacquard weave are costly because it involves more time and skill in making the Jacquard cards to produce new patterns. Moreover the weaving operation is also very slow.
