Gros De Hondres

GROS de HONDRES

A repp fabric for dress purposes reeded 2-ends and 1-end per dent alternately, usually the 2-ends are different in colour than the single ends. Thick and thin wefts are used. Woven with about 350-ends per inch of 16 denier silk organzine warp and cotton weft. In the example illustrated there are three single picks of 20's cotton forming the trough of the repp, while the bold rib is formed by floating the double ends of warp over two picks - weaving as one - of 6/20's cotton. The weft is hidden by the silk warp.
