Double Cloths

Double Cloths
DOUBLE CLOTHS (Woven)
A general term applied to many textures in which two fabrics each with its own warp and weft are combined together. The primary object is to produce a heavier cloth than could be done in a single texture, without spoiling the fineness and the weave of the face cloth. Very often the face weave is quite different from that of the back. In woollens, and overcoatings in particular, double cloth weaving permits the production of fancy checks on the back, while the face cloth is finer in appearance. Sometimes the back is made plainer and heavier than the face, principally to add bulk to the fabric. The illustration shows a woollen material with a check face and twill back.
