Talk:Double cloth

A fact from Double cloth appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 27 July 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that double cloth or double-woven cloth (pictured) is a type of weaving used in Pre-Columbian Peru and Victorian furnishing textiles in which two or more sets of warps and one or more sets of weft or filling yarns are interconnected to form a two-layered cloth?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2007/July.

Move

I have moved this article from double weave to double cloth following Kadolph, Textiles, 2007, who categorizes double-weave as a type or subset of double cloth. It's a murky area; the double-woven Peruvian textiles seem always to be called "double cloth" or "doublecloth" by archaeologists (as do the more complex double-woven coverlets), and William Morris offered his double-woven furnishing textiles as "doublecloth". - PKM 03:24, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reversibility of fabric

An edit I had recently made to this page has been reverted rather swiftly, on the grounds that it was "inaccurate"; I am curious as to why. In the fabric's description, I directed the term "reversible" to "reversible garment"; is this not the meaning of the word? What other possible things can the word "reversible" convey in this context? If it is not meant this way, then the intended meaning should be clarified further.

I reverted because you introduced the phrase "reversable garment" into the link. Just because a double cloth is used for a garment, does not make the garment reversible. It isn't that simple. -Roxy the dog. wooF 16:18, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
