Damask is a type of
weaving that can be applied to cotton, silk and linen. A pattern is
formed by the weaving of fibers and it gives the fabric a three
dimensional look on a two dimensional surface. The pattern is woven on
the front side of the fabric and has a shiny lustrous finish. The
backside of the damask table linens looks dull and two dimensional.
Damask weaves come in two weights:
- Single Damask Table Linen : These have less
number of count per square cm. The satin weave is produced by one
warp thread going over four and one weft thread.
- Double Damask Table Linen : The fine scroll
double damask remains one of the most popular and recognizable table
linen designs. This design is woven to an amazing thread count for
the most intricate deigns. The warp thread goes over seven or more
and under one weft.
