  Définition

  A firmly woven Cheviot tweed in 2/2 twill weave (straight twill or herringbone) having single and two-ply yarns one-and-one in both warp and weft.

  Note :

  Originally the two-ply yarns were made by plying a single yarn identical to the one used in the fabric with a white yarn for use in the warp and with a dark yarn for use in the weft, but modern Bannockburn tweeds favour the count of the coloured single yarns approximating to the resultant count of the ply yarns, which are white-colour or light-dark woollen grandrelle or marl yarns, warp and weft.
