It is the yellow ground which is in Gros de Tours, a weave similar to taffeta but with a horizontal ribbed effect. So many cloth names take you all over the map! I have heard these fabrics referred to as brocade in English, so that might be the best way to be understood – but there is no sculpted, embossed effect. The final weaving is adapted to a very modern loom.gésbihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18094108253356167918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1567318375972114465.post-65399625266260071492012-02-16T18:51:27.993+01:002012-02-16T18:51:27.993+01:00Beautiful stuff (to use the old name for what we n...Beautiful stuff (to use the old name for what we now call fabrics) and fascinating to see the small loom at work.
