Double Damask is woven by passing filling threads over seven warp threads and under one. In single damask the threads are bound down every fifth thread. The terms single or double damask should not therefore be regarded as intended to influence the purchase.
Double damask does not mean double weight, strength or value. The Damask rose is a deciduous shrub growing to 2. The leaves are pinnate, with five rarely seven leaflets. The roses are a light to moderate pink to light red. The relatively small flowers grow in groups. While English-speakers call it muslin because Europeans believed it originated in the Iraqi city of Mosul, its origins are now thought to have been farther east — in particular Dhaka and Murshidabad.
Cotton Jacquard Fabric is a highly textured fabric with patterns that are woven, rather than printed into the fabric. Jacquard Fabrics have a raised pattern design that may include florals, paisleys, damask or animal patterns.
What Is Brocade Fabric? Brocade is a woven fabric with an elaborate raised design, often using gold or silver threads. While originally made of only silk fibers, brocade fabrics can be found today woven from a variety of natural and synthetic fibers.
The Jacquard is a special loom, or a machine employed in the weaving of a figured fabric. The term jacquard also means the weave or a fabric with an intricately woven pattern. The Brocade on the other hand is a heavy fabric interwoven with a rich, raised design. Jacquard fabric is a type of cloth featuring an intricate pattern woven into the warp on a special mechanical loom, rather than printed on the surface.
The beauty of the jacquard loom is in its ability to interlace hundreds of warp threads to create unique designs. Damask is a reversible fabric with a woven pattern visible on both sides. Often intricately detailed, damask can be found on decorative pillows, pillow shams, or other decorative bedding pieces. As we all probably know well — linen fabric or weave is produced of fiber of the flax plant. Damask linen fabric is a type that is woven on a jacquard loom, using a mix of plain and satin weaves.
The fibers most often are flat and reversible, and therefore damask fabric has a smooth texture with a reversible pattern. The Jacquard mechanism, invented by Frenchman Joseph Marie Jacquard and first demonstrated in , simplified the way in which complex textiles such as damask were woven.
This raises the pattern heddle in the back. I continue across the warp and then weave the six shots of the satin on the ground shafts. The next step is going back to the pattern, lowering and raising the next line. Then the six satin shots, etc. The satin ground weave heddles have large eyes that make it possible to have the non-working warp-ends stand unaffected by the working ones. When a treadle is pushed down, one end from a warp faced unit is lowered and one end from a weft faced unit is raised.
The rest of the ends stay in the position they were. That means that these working ends need to travel farther than the rest of the warp. To facilitate the extra stretching of those ends the looms need to be much longer than an ordinary loom. That makes it possible to weave linen which is an inelastic thread and needs the long distance between the breast beam and the back beam. The loom I added the damask harness to was an eight shaft Gilmakra Ideal, which is a small loom, with a short distance between the breast beam and the back beam.
I thought that the shorter length between the beams might cause some problem. The silk is elastic enough so that the short span in my loom is not a drawback. My one attempt with singles linen ended in disaster, however, and I had to cut the warp off from the loom.
During the weaving process four of the shafts that are not working have to stay unaffected by the by the working ones. For this reason the six satin shafts are hung on shock-cords and weighted. The normal counter march mechanism on the loom is thus bypassed.
The name damask is technically applied to certain classes of fabrics, richly decorated with figures of foliage, fruits, scrolls and other ornamental patterns, usually of a large and elaborate character. The weaves usually employed are twills mostly satin and the figures In the fabric are made by alternately exchanging warp for weft surface or vice versa.
A specimen of such is illustrated at Pig. This design or sketch is to be made into a damask tablecover, having 50 threads warp and 44 picks weft per inch, the figure of which is to be a 5-leaf 4—1 satin twill warp face and the ground a 5-leaf 1— i satin twill weft face. In order to ascertain how many squares or rectangles the design will occupy weft-wise the sketch must be measured, which in this case happens to be seven inches.
Therefore 44 picks per inch times 7 inches equals rectangles; but as 5, the number of threads in one repeat of weave satin , will not divide into evenly, must be taken divided by 5 equals After the design is transferred to the design paper, the next process is to paint in the weave, in the following manner, or as shown by a portion odt the design, taken from sketch at E, and illustrated by Fig.
