Abstract
A weaving machine having opposite arrays of first heddles which are subjected to an alternative weft-wise movement. The weaving machine is also provided with opposite arrays of second heddles which are arranged on one side of the respective arrays of the first heddles adjacent the cloth fell. The weaving machine is operative to manufacture a multi-axial fabric constructed by a triaxial fabric including oblique warp yarns of different direction which are interwoven in weft yarns, and straight warp yarns interwoven with the weft yarns constructing the triaxial fabric. At all of the locations where the oblique warp yarns are crossed with each other, the oblique warp yarns and the weft yarns are interwoven with each other, and the straight warp yarns are interwoven with the weft yarns which are interwoven with the oblique warp yarns.
