Jacquard Fabric

What is Jacquard?

• Jacquard is a loom textured fabric that has complicated patterns woven into it as the weaving process is done.
• It is defined for its weave fabric not for the kind of yarn since it may be manufactured by any material.
• It is a little pricey because of the time and talent needed.
• Jacquards are available both in tone-on-tone and contrast designs, and a range of patterns is unlimited: from simple stripes and polka dots to sophisticated botanicals, flowers, and even conversational themes.

History

• As a "draw boy" on a conventional brocade loom in the late 1700s, Joseph Marie Jacquard paved the way for the development of the term "jacquard."
• At one point, they had to lift half their body weight when weaving reeds, and they were expected to labour six to eight hours a day. Drawing threads from the warp and rewinding them is the job of the draw lad.
• Rather of relying on draw boys to create brocade textiles, Jacquard sought for a more efficient method.
• Instead of a draw boy, the loom was guided by punch cards, which told it which threads to lift at what times to form a jacquard weave.
• Early computers and binary coding were influenced by the punch card design created by Jacquard more than 130 years before he patented his loom.

Application and Uses

New Age Innovations 

• High-end and traditional applications use silk and cotton jacquards, but current designers are using a broader range of fibers, including as linen and cotton mixes, into their designs.
• Bedspreads, sofa coverings, tablecloths—and, of course, Marc Jacobs's stunning and creative clothing—are now accessible to the general public.

How to judge the authenticity?

• Can check the fabric by observing the unique pattern woven within the fabric.
• Look at the back of the fabric for the long floats.

Care instructions

• Sturdy jacquards can be hand and machine washed at 30 °С.
• Avoid using bleaching agents.
• Do not wring the fabric.
• Let it dry on a hanger or lay it flat on a table, away from direct sunlight.
