Textile
Fragment Silk lampas costume fabric with a salmon ground and supplementary weft patterning polychrome threads. This textile has been pieced together in an attempt to recreate the original pattern. A
lampas describes a figured textile in which a pattern, composed
of weft floats bound by a binding warp, is added to a ground weave
formed by a main warp and a main weft. In a weft patterned lampas,
the supplementary weft threads are carried selvage to selvage
(CIETA). *
