There's a nice picture of houndstooth in Margrethe Hald's "Ancient Danish Textiles" also. The picture looks as though the check is in a contrasting color (it's a black and white photo), but the text claims that the effect comes from using threads of different spin directions instead (a kind of shadow check effect, I suppose). -- Cathy Raymond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "I'm starting to like the cut of this man's gibberish." --General Fillmore (from "The Tick," episode 2) _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
