Jacquard pattern

A Jacquard pattern refers to a type of intricate and detailed design woven into fabric. Developed by Joseph Marie Jacquard in the early 19th century, this technique uses a special loom that can control individual threads, allowing for complex patterns like floral or geometric designs. The Jacquard loom was revolutionary, paving the way for modern automatic weaving machines and influencing the development of computer programming because of its use of punched cards to control the weaving process. Today, Jacquard patterns are popular in textiles, upholstery, and fashion, showcasing both artistry and technology in fabric design.
