HERRINGBONE

A pattern I have always loved.
Classic.
Timeless.
Herringbone is a V-shaped woven pattern
usually found in twill fabric. It's similar to a chevron
pattern except there is a break at the reversal
so it looks like a broken zigzag. The pattern resembles
the skeletal pattern of a herring fish. Herringbone is most
often woven from wool making it very popular
in men's suits and outerwear.
Ancient remnants of herringbone weaves
dating back to 600 BC have been found and
documented in Ireland. Similar patterns have been
found in ancient Italy and China.

appear in many shapes and forms.

Love herringbone, Alison! It's such a classic...just like plaid and houndstooth. I have been catching up on your posts. I've been missing so much! Hope you can stop by, when you get the chance. I just revealed a secret!
