  Notes :

  Has a warp or filling wale or cord, usually warp. Can be of carded or combed yarns. It is woven on a dobby loom or with a dobby motion. A heavy stuffer yarn is used in back of the cloth; this heavy yarn is caught at intervals by a filling thread. Groups of fine warp yarns are woven on the surface over the back stuffer yarn, forming a rib. Many of the cheaper versions are woven without this stuffer yarn. Other versions of piqué are irregular or novelty wales, woven dots, bird's-eye, diamond squares, ladder effects.
  
  For many years, the term Piqué has been applied to a much less expensive white cloth made in a light-weight Bedford-cord weave.
