Additional Details

Heavy fabric with broad, flat crosswise ribs of even size, but some have small ribs. Ottoman cords have alternating wide and narrow ribs. Basic yarn used may be silk or wool, but is now more likely to be acetate, viscose, triacetate or cotton. Weft cords are usually cotton yarn covered by the warp yarns. Used for plain dresses, coats and curtains. Creases easily across the width of the fabric.
