Jacquard cloth is made on a fabric loom
and can include damasks, brocades and tapestries. It works on the
principle of using cards which have holes punched in them; each of
the holes correspond to a hook on the loom which is picked up and
guided to the warp or weft threads to create the pattern.
Jacquard looms were the first to use
cards to perform a series of operations to create a textile or
fabric. Today most textiles are produced using computer, however, the
Jacquard loom is seen as an important role into the first computer
programmes and the mass production of fabrics.
Jacquard fabric by nature of the way it
is made is durable and versatile, it;s the perfect material choice
for many soft furnishing and can be used to make curtains, Roman
blinds etc.
