Abstract
The theory of woven fabric structure and yarn shape proposed by B. Olofsson is described and appraised. Some developments of this theory are given. These developments enable more straight-forward application of the theory to be made. Alternative but similar formulas are deduced which are applicable to the case of a partially set fabric under no tension. Some applications of these formulas are described and the connection with similar theories of yarn shape used by Peirce is shown.
