All about textile fibres! To know more about the various fibres used in the textile industry, please select the type of fibre you would like to see or you can just browse through the various fibres: Brocatelle Type : Standard Silk and Silk Imitation Fibres Fibre: Silk, rayon, cotton, and synthetics. Weave: Jacquard - double or backed cloth. Characteristics: Originally supposed to be an imitation of Italian tooled leather - satin or twill pattern on plain or satin ground. It is recognized by a smooth raised figure of warp-effect, usually in a satin weave construction, on a filling effect background. True brocatelle is a double weave made of silk and linen warp and a silk and linen filling. Present-day materials may have changed from the XIIIth adn XIVth Century fabrics, but they still have the embossed figure in the tight, compact woven warp-effect. While brocatelle is sometimes classed as a flat fabric, it shows patterns which stand out in "high relief" in a sort of blistered effect. Uses: Draperies, furniture, coverings and general decorating purposes as well as all kinds of after 5 wear. < Prev    Up    Next > Categories: Common Fibres Standard Worsted and Wool Fibres Standard Silk and Silk Imitation Fibres Speciality Fibres Plant fibres Manmade fibres Miscellaneous fibres
