fur pillows - Density of weave and finishing processes are also important elements in determining the quality of fabrics. Tapestry, sometimes classed as embroidery, is a modified form of plain cloth weaving. The weaving of carpet and rugs is a special branch of the textile industry. Other specially prepared fabrics not woven are felt and bark (or tapa) cloth, which are beaten or matted together, and a few in which a single thread is looped or plaited, as in crochet and netting work and various laces. Most textiles are now produced in factories, with highly specialized power looms, but many of the finest velvets, brocades, and table linens are still made by hand. Textile printing, the various processes by which fabrics are printed

in colored design, is an ancient art. Although the time and place of origin are uncertain, examples of Greek fabrics from the 4th cent. B. C. have been found. India exported block prints to the Mediterranean region in the 5th cent. B. C. , and Indian chintz was imported into Europe duri_ng the Renaissance and widely imitated. France became a leading center and was noted especially for the toile de Jouy manufactured at Jouy from 1760 to 1811. Early forms of textile printing are stencil work, highly developed by Japanese artists, and block printing. In the latter method a block of wood, copper, or other material beari_ng a design in intaglio with the dye paste applied to the surface is pressed on the fabric and struck with a mallet.
