Jacquard fabric: origin, uses, and types
Woven using a specialized and intricate loom, jacquard fabrics are crafted by manipulating the vertical (warp) and horizontal (weft) yarns through a process of lifting and lowering. This process results in the formation of the intended pattern or visual effect. These fabrics encompass a wide range of designs, ranging from geometric patterns and floral motifs to stripes, paisleys, and damask. Typically, jacquard weave fabric is mainly used in household items and furniture upholstery due to its substantial thickness and intricate texture. This type of fabric is also prevalent in vibrant, patterned materials used for creating sarees, as well as in the design of other attire.
