Herringbone Canvas William Hogarth, "Anne Hogarth" (detail) ca. 1740 The latter explanation seems plausible when one Ask the Expert: considers that wide canvas could have eliminated the "What is the purpose/history of the herringbone need for seams on large-scale canvases. Boucher pattern canvas? Should I buy that weave pattern over executed at least one painting on twill-weave blue and another? Is it because it doesn’t relax or go slack as white striped mattress ticking, which would seem an odd much as a traditional weave would? Can you provide choice unless it was the best quality, widest canvas any further information?" available. A: Herringbone is a pattern of twill weave cloth which, Herringbone twill fabric releases wrinkles more easily though in existence since ancient times, became more than plain-weave cloth, always an advantage in stretching widespread for use as a painting support in the 16th canvas. We're not aware of any data regarding stretched century. The Italian painter Titian was active during this performance of herringbone vs plain-weave (our best period, and made many significant works on this type of guess is that they are both about the same) but the fabric. Herringbone canvas is still used by artists today for texture of the former might hold the priming better than a its unusual texture, which is generally more aggressive smooth duck-weave linen. than plain-weave fabrics like duck. Reasons given for why painters might have originally selected herringbone canvas are largely speculative. Some artists probably chose it based on appearance alone, or because it was the best quality available. Still others may have selected it because, depending on the historical period, herringbone fabric may have been available in wider bolts than plain-weave canvas due to improved loom technology.

WOOL TEXTILE TERMS Handout for the WRSW Wool Panel Discussion
WOOL TEXTILE TERMS Handout for the WRSW Wool Panel Discussion Over the years, the wool industry has attempted to standardize wool textile terminology. The following is list of such terms listed in “Twills, Tweeds and All-Wool Fabrics” by Harriet C. Douglas. Public Domain on arizona.edu. Broken Twill – are twills in which one or more shafts are omitted in the threading, but the weaving is regular. Dornik is an example. Cheviot Tweeds – originally from the Cheviot Hills of Scotland. Made from the rough, coarse wool of the Cheviot wool in plain weave or in 2/2 twill, with warp and weft of the same color. Often pieced dyed rather than skein dyed. Combined Twills – are Fancy twills woven in small patterns with broken diagonals and irregular warp and weft skips. Corkscrew Twills – are warp and weft rib twills produced on an uneven number of shafts, by weaving semi-opposites. One of the few twills which is not a balanced weave. Curved Twills – are Fancy twills in which the twill lines have a waved or curved nature. District Checks – is the general name applied to the Scotch Tweed checks developed during the rein of Queen Victoria for hunting and sport wear. They are characterized by a certain boldness of small figures, but “protective coloration”. They include such checks as the Glenns, The Glen Urquharts and the Shepherd check, woven on two, three or four colors. Donegal Tweed – has two types. One is a herringbone weave on a white warp with a dark weft; the other, a plain weave fabric woven with a weft which has colored nubs.
