HUCKABACK

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 848 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HOR-I25
HUCKABACK ,1 the name given to a type of cloth used for towels. For this purpose it has perhaps been more extensively used in the linen
trade
  than any other weave. One of the
chief
  merits of a towel is its capacity for absorbing moisture; plain and other flat-surfaced cloths do not perform this
function
  satisfactorily, but cloths made with huckabaek, as well as those made with the honeycomb and similar weaves, are particularly well adapted for this purpose. The
body
  or foundation of the cloth is plain and therefore sound in structure (see designs A and B in figure), but at fixed intervals some of the A B warp threads
float
  on the surface of
the cloth, while at the same time a number of weft threads
float
  on the back. Thus the cloth has a somewhat similar
appearance
  on both sides. Weave A is the
ordinary
  and most used huck or huckaback, while weave B, which is usually woven with
double
  weft, is termed the
Devon
  or medical huck. The cloths made by the use of these weaves were originally all linen, but are too often adulterated with inferior
fibres
 .
