Cloth Weaving Patterns

<br>
===Kreuzkoper===
The Kreuzkoper is a variation of a 2/2 chevron twill but the pattern is obscured by braking it after every two threads.
<br>
===Felt===
In true felt the textile was not woven, but the fibres were felted together through agitation. Felt is different to fullered cloth, though the surface might look similar.
<br>
===Fullered cloth===
When cloth is fullered the surface of the woven textile is felted to give a denser surface. In archaeological context it is sometimes hard to tell whether the cloth was fullered during it's production, or if it was caused by wear during the garments use, or in some cases even a post-depositional effect. If the textile report states that a piece of cloth was of fullered appearance it is listed here.
<br>
===Piled===
A piece of cloth is called piled when it has tufts of fleece incorporated into it either during weaving or afterwards with a needle. Other terms for the same effect are "rog" or "flokatti"
