As we write this, pretty much everyone in the Northern Hemisphere is starting to experience cooler temperatures and a bit of a snap in the air. So budding fashionistas, DIY designers, and clothing entrepreneurs will be looking for by-the-yard fabrics suitable for cozy cool-weather garments.
Clothes that Do the Job
We choose the clothes we wear based on many criteria but, when the weather is either very cool or very warm, how comfortable they are becomes more important. At the same time, human beings are social animals; we all want to make a good impression with attractive clothes that bring out the best in our appearance and which are durable enough that we get to enjoy them for many seasons.
A good supplier of quality, value-priced retail fabrics will provide an array of options that can help clothes makers create garments people will want to wear for a reasonable price. There are many different types of fabrics and here at Fabric Selection Inc., we strive to offer our retail customers wide a variety of the very best as possible.
Jacquard Fabrics
Jacquard refers to a type of weaving, so the term can apply to types of material using any synthetic or natural fiber. This means that both warm and cold weather fabrics can be made in this way, though Jacquard patterns can also create raised areas that may be somewhat warmer.
Named for its inventor, Joseph Marie Jacquard, the Jacquard loom first appeared in the early nineteenth century. It was a revolutionary advance that made it possible to place intricate designs in fabrics much faster than had been possible. Instead of requiring artisans to weave the designs by hand, the machine used a series of punched-out cards to set which color and type of fiber was going to be used to make a pattern. Believe it or not, these punched-out cards were the basis of the binary computer punch cards used in the earliest days of computing, up through the 1970s and the earliest personal computers. Without the Jacquard loom, you might not have the device you’re using right now to read this article!
