CRETONNE

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 431 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CRE-DAH
CRETONNE , originally a strong,
white
  fabric with a hempen warp and linen weft. The word is said to be derived from Creton, a
village
  in Normandy where the manufacture of linen was carried on. It is now applied to a strong, printed
cotton
 
cloth
 , stouter than chintz but used for very much the same purposes. It is usually unglazed and may be printed on both sides and even with different patterns. Frequently the cretonne has a
woven
  fancy
pattern
  of some kind which is modified by the printed
design
 . It is sometimes made with a weft of
cotton
 
waste
 .
