Brocaded

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Decorated with the addition of discontinuous supplementary-weft yarn alternating with the ground weft yarns during the weaving of a fabric. The discontinuous supplementary-weft yarns each pass back and forth in their own pattern area, and are not carried from one pattern area to another.
