Abstract: Woven textiles’ design is part of sustainable design, and new ways are being sought to minimise energy, including human power and efforts, in order to efficiently develop new weave patterns and apply them directly in the weaving mill. The design of woven textiles is frequently associated with the used weave pattern and the effects of colours and textures, which are a balanced mixture of materials (yarns), weaves and colour combinations. A weave pattern design method based on text inspiration is presented in our paper. It corresponds to the definition of sustainability as its concept increases the design capabilities that will last in the future. At the same time, the method adds to the existing techniques for the design of new weaves, ensuring the field’s long-term development.
