Jacquard

Collective term for all large-patterned fabrics with weave-based patterning, produced with the help of jacquard technology on a jacquard loom.
Its complicated mechanism allows the weaving of almost unlimitedly large patterns (flowers, leaves, fictional themes), which cannot be achieved on shaft looms. Each warp thread has its own control, enabling the alternation of different weave variants.
Typical jacquard fabrics are damask, brocade and furnishing fabric. The term is derived from the name of the French inventor of this loom, J.M. Jacquard.
