Talk:Damask

Damascus

The Dutch version of this page suggests that there is no evidence to suggest that damask was every made in Damascus. Everybody got to be somewhere! (talk) 14:47, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Jacquard

Damask type fabrics became far easier and cheaper to produce with the appearance of the Jacquard loom. Maybe the article should make some reference in that respect. Everybody got to be somewhere! (talk) 14:47, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Rewrite

I am concerned that much of this text may be copy-vio from (unless it is copied without citation from us!); in any case the text was a bit florid and redundant, so I have rewritten it to address those issues in the process of adding citations.

I have addressed the points on Damascus and Jacquard looms raised above. Monnas 2008 (see refs) says the Byzantine diasper was a lampas-woven silk, not a damask, so I have deleted that comment. I'll see if I can find additional citable sources for the origin of this fabric and add that information. - PKM (talk) 21:24, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Absorption

Where's this thing with the low absorption from? No source, no mention in the text... and in Real Life(TM), the absorption of linen damask is phenomenal. --Madame (talk) 17:23, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
