Caddon

Caddon
CADDOWS, or CADDON
A hand-woven fabric in which loops are formed in some arranged design, of which Fig. 1 is an example. The warp is controlled by two shafts; two picks of a fine ground weft are woven in, and then one very thick pick is inserted for figuring. Before closing the shed this thick weft is pulled into small loops as in Fig. 2, where required. Almost any design could be woven. The weaver begins with the first line on design and lifts loops where indicated, inserts two picks of ground, then a thick pick, raising the loops as required, and so on. These fabrics use up a great deal of time and arc expensive to make. Used for bedspreads, etc
