Herringbone pattern (textile)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The herringbone pattern or herringbone pattern (short herringbone or fishbone ) is a textile pattern that the weaving is produced. It is a term from the theory of bonding , it refers to the fact that the pattern is reminiscent of fish bones placed next to each other .

Herringbone pattern enlarged, light warp , dark weft , a "herringbone" is 4.15 mm wide

Presentation and use

Binding cartridge of a herringbone body

The fabric pattern is created by using a so-called broken body . Within the repeat of a twill weave , the direction of the ridge is changed, usually within the indentation of the warp , and offset by one weave point (twill rearrangement). The longitudinal stripes are usually between 1 cm and 3 cm wide. When using carded yarn, the pattern appears three-dimensional. The appearance is enhanced by warp and / or weft threads of different colors. Due to the average number of warp and weft threads and the weave, fabrics with this pattern have an average and good heat retention capacity. With different colored yarns it is less sensitive to dirt. The pattern is used in worsted or woolen fabrics , especially traditionally tweed , for coats, suits, jackets and women's costumes.

Chevron (French for " rafters ") is the name adopted from English for a woolen fabric with a herringbone pattern. Chevrons are narrower than herringbone patterned, moreover, they are bare equipped and therefore have a clear surface.

history

The herringbone pattern was used very early as a design element in weaving, for example herringbone fabrics are among the finds from the Early Iron Age Hallstatt period and from the early medieval Haithabu in today's Schleswig-Holstein .
