Document Summary
Warp pile weave/fabric: a woven fabric with pile created by extra warp yarns: velvet: a warp-pile fabric most often made as a double cloth with five sets of yarn. One pair of ground warp and filling creates one side of the fabric and a second pair of ground warp and filling creates the other side. A fifth set of yarns (pile warp) interlaces between the two sets of ground fabrics. Matelasse are made on jacquard or dobby looms, often with crepe yarns or coarse cotton yarns. When finished, the shrinkage of the crepe yarns or the coarse cotton yarn creates the puckered appearance; used in apparel as well as in furnishing. The stripe that is printed is usually darker in piece- dyed goods because the sodium hydroxide increases the dye absorbency. In two-colour damasks, the colour reverses on the opposite side. Matelasse are made on a jacquard or dobby looms, often with crepe yarns or coarse cotton yarns.
