Marlin weaving

Under Marli weaving refers to a weaving technique from the second half of the 18th century, when

• the warp thread is made of silk and
• the shot is quadruple. The weft material consists of eight times divided Hungarian wheat straw and points with the glossy side up.

This weaving technique was introduced in 1793 by Johann Gottfried Boden , the father of Carl Gottlob Boden , in Großröhrsdorf and Saxony . The origins of marlin weaving are unknown, but it was widespread in France before 1793.

The initiator for the production and at the same time the buyer for this shiny, rigid and fluffy marling fabric was the Saxon court, which needed it for the ball gowns of the court ladies . Before that, it had to be obtained from Paris .
