Grenadine

Grenadine
GRENADINE
This is a dress material with an open gauze weave. Made from hard-twisted yarns; cotton, silk and wool are made use of in the many qualities on the market. Yarns are dyed and of many colours. Stripes and checks are formed by cramming, and open spaces by leaving dents empty. The weft in the cotton variety is polished yarn, dyed black. The warp is hard-twisted voile yarn, 2/40's, 2/80's, or 2/100's. This cloth is also known as Black Lenos." The example illustrated is a good style of this cloth made from 32's polished weft. The open work is obtained by empty dents, with gauze or leno at each side of the stripes to keep them together. Silk and coloured cotton is used to add extra ornament.
