What is the history of the herringbone pattern in plaids?
The herringbone pattern is a classic pattern that originates from ancient times, where it was used in textiles and weaving. The pattern is inspired by the shape of a herringbone and has a long history of use in different cultures and eras. To this day, it is still a widely used pattern in wooden floors and paving, but of course also in plaids.
What is the difference between Fishbone and Herringbone?
Fishbone and herringbone are English terms that both refer to the herringbone pattern, but there is a subtle difference between the two. The herringbone pattern has a more flattened and even shape, while the fishbone pattern has a more pronounced, sharper and pointier appearance, similar to the shape of a herringbone. This difference is often not clearly visible in plaids. There are suppliers who use Fishbone for plaids with 1 color and beige and Herringbone for plaids that are woven with two colors. To avoid confusion, we only use the term herringbone.
How do I keep a woolen plaid looking nice?
To keep a woolen plaid beautiful, it is important to air it regularly and clean it carefully. Avoid direct sunlight and keep it away from humid environments to prevent deformation and color fading.
How do I maintain a wool plaid?
A wool blanket is best cleaned by gently dabbing with a mild wool detergent and cold water. Avoid rubbing or wringing to prevent damage to the fibers. Let it dry flat, away from direct heat sources. And to use grandmother's advice, if there is snow on the ground, put the blanket in it, beat it out and let it dry flat. Snow cleans just like wool does itself.
