Mitcheline

A quilt woven on a jacquard loom with operating comber boards and two shafts of healds. It is a compound cloth composed of two plain cloths very firmly interwoven. The design is made by the two cloths interchanging. The bulk of these quilts are woven from all grey yarns and bleached afterwards, but colour is often used for the ground with the figure showing in white. Many qualities are sold, and an average sample has 36's warp and 30's weft for ground, with 16's warp and 4's weft for figuring. The fine warp and weft weave together to form ground, with the coarse warp and weft forming figure.

See Mitcheline or patent satin.
