Beth yw ffabrig Jacquard?

Mae Jacquard yn ffabrig wedi'i wehyddu ar wŷdd jacquard, gwydd peiriant a ddyfeisiwyd ym 1804 gan y crefftwr tecstilau Ffrengig Joseph Marie Jacquard. Mae gan ffabrigau sy'n cael eu gwehyddu â'r gwydd hwn batrymau cymhleth wedi'u gwehyddu'n uniongyrchol i'r ffabrig. Felly, mae unrhyw ffabrig gyda phatrwm gwehyddu yn debyg i jacquard, ond yn dechnegol dim ond ffabrig wedi'i wehyddu â gwŷdd jacquard y gellir ei ystyried yn enghraifft wirioneddol o ffabrig o'r fath.

Primarily valued for its decorative qualities, jacquard is also a relatively durable and heavyweight fabric, and these attributes can be accentuated by weaving jacquard with wool or other durable materials. Uncommonly used in casual wear due to its complexity and relatively high cost, textile manufacturers use jacquard more frequently for formal wear such as evening wear and men's suits. The fabric is also ideal for a variety of household items, including curtains, duvets and furniture upholstery.
