    This document summarizes the honeycomb weave structure used in textiles. It describes the appearance as resembling a beehive with hexagonal ridges and hollows. Two main types are discussed: ordinary honeycomb weave which can have single or double diagonal crossing lines, producing reversible fabrics; and Brighton honeycomb which is non-reversible with cells formed in groups of four per repeat. Common end uses of honeycomb weaves include towels, bed covers, and quilts due to their moisture absorption properties.
