SHEPHERD'S-CHECK EFFECT

Domain	Definition
Industry	Small check effects developed in black and white, or in contrasting colours, generally by groups of four, six, or eight threads of the two colours and in twill weaves, commonly the 2/2 twill. The description applied to the effects probably originates from the traditional 1/4-in-wide check pattern developed in black and white and in 2/2 twill weave as featured on the plaids worn at one time by shepherds in the hills of the Scottish Borders.
