Uses: There are two types of damask table cloths: 1) Single damask table cloths: construction. Thread count is usually around 200. 2) Double damask has an 8 shaft satin construction with usually twice as many filling yarns as warp yarns. This gives a much greater distinctness to the pattern. Thread count ranges from 165 to 400. - The quality of both depends on the yarn used and the thread count. - If the same quality and thread count are used, single is better than double because the shorter floats are more serviceable and the yarns hold more firmly. Double damask with less than 180 thread count is no good for home use. < 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
