What is “Damask“?
Damask is a woven and patterned fabric. It is reversible.
Weaving Technique
Damasks are woven by periodically reversing the action of the warp and weft threads. The pattern is most commonly created with a warp-faced satin weave. The ground is created with a weft-faced or sateen weave.
