Hairline Tri-Colour

HAIRLINE TRI-COLOUR

An imitation hairline fabric, woven from woollen warp and worsted weft. If red, blue and white are used for warp then the weft is similarly dyed. In the weave shown, are two ends of each colour together and the ends are all lifted except those of the same colour as the pick about to be thrown across. This gives a three-colour stripe with each colour well defined. The rib weave used also gives a balanced cloth. One quality is made 72-in. wide in the loom, 26 ends of 3 run wool warp and 60 picks of 2/30's worsted weft per inch. The weight is about 14-oz. per yard.
