Effetti Puri

Italian to English Tech/Engineering Textiles / Clothing / Fashion Tessuti
E' inoltre importante da un punto di vista estetico e funzionale cercare di ottenere **effetti puri** dell'ordito o del filato di ordito quanto più visibili sul tessuto.

from the aesthetic and functional point of view, it is important to obtain "pure" effects, that is,


when the warp or warp thread/yarn is more visible in the weave/cloth/fabric, it should be discrete/distinct.

(or "the more visible the warp is, the clearer it should look", or whatever phrasing you choose)

I found this website where they actually speak about making the sail of a boat, but the drawings make your sentence easy to understand.
