“…The plan of weave is presented just like a segment (one quarter of weave) because of large warp and weft repeats. Also principles of ornamentation and symmetry can be used for overshot and pick-up fabrics described in references [2,3]. These principles can be realized by the software described in reference [4].…”

“…All these operations can be carried out acting with matrices. Analysing different ornaments Woods [2] and Hann [3] stated that there are 17 different symmetry groups formed from the dots in parallel lines and these dots can make 5 geometrical shapes: parallelogram, rectangular, square, rhomb or hexagon. Woods suggested the system of two-dimension ornaments and their classification and marking described by geometry rules.…”

“…Woods suggested the system of two-dimension ornaments and their classification and marking described by geometry rules. Therefore, he introduced finite and one-dimensional ornaments, the structure of which is based on crystallography theory improved by Hann [3]. The scientists' classification system is used by many investigators for analysis, classification and designing of ornaments.…”

In the article 258 Lithuanian folk skirts from National M. K. Čiurlionis Museum of Art and 85 skirts from Lithuanian Open Air Museum are investigated. The weaves and plans of weave of skirts fabrics are made. Also the composing of plans of weave is analysed in aspect of segment, ornament and symmetry group of patterned fabric weave. Also the symmetry groups of Lithuanian folk skirts fabrics and their distribution according to the fabric weave are analysed. The tendencies of symmetry groups and peculiarities of composing of plans of weave can help to recreate the reconstructions of authentic folk fabrics.

“…Researchers reported that this systematic and methodical process of classifying pattern symmetry in design structure is a significant and culturally sensitive analytical tool. This means that symmetry preference would be dependent on culture (M. Hann, 2003;Hann, 1992;M. A. Hann, 2003aM.…”

Repetition is one of the design principles employed to create decorative pattern on several products such as textiles, wallpaper, ceramic tiles and gift wraps. In this study costumer preference of pattern used in decorative textile design is investigated. It is believed that this will be useful for designers and merchandisers who need to analyze public preference for textiles products. However, symmetry is a fundamental aspect of pattern design, design grouping and classification of designs used in research studies concerned with pattern preference was based on design elements such as motif style and size. Therefore, this study is concerned with classifying stimuli used according to symmetry characteristics. This paper investigated the relation between textile design preference and pattern symmetry class of all-over designs using seventeen primary classes of all-over patterns developed by Woods, H. J.. Two groups of designs were used. In these designs black and white colours were used for background and foreground. These colours were inverted in each group of designs. Most of the subjects employed were found more likely to prefer the designs exhibited (around 40%), 30% of the subjects had neutral response and around 20% disliked the designs shown. The most preferred symmetry classes were characterized by hexagonal or square lattice of highest order of rotation 3 or higher, the generating region is 1/4, 1/6, 1/8 or 1/12 unit. However the most disliked symmetry classes were signified by parallelogram, rectangular or rhombic lattice of 1 or 2 highest order of rotation and the generating region is 1/4, 1/2 or 1. There was consistency in subjects' selection in both groups of designs which indicates that the subjects' preference was in sake of pattern symmetry class itself and not highly affected by colour distribution.
