DOPPLER STRIPED COTTON CAMBRIC
Cambric is a fine plain cotton or linen, woven from particularly delicate yarn under high tension. The name was recorded in 1530 and refers to the fabric’s origin in Cambrai (Camerick in contemporary English) in the North of France. The name shares a route with Chambray, which is a cambric woven with a contrasting coloured warp and weft.
Doppler Stripe Cambric is woven in England on an ecru cotton warp with alternating ecru and olive green cotton weft yarns, arranged in a bunched pattern based on the doppler effect of frequency shifting with distance from the wave source. The pattern runs from a wide band of solid green weft to an equal band of solid ecru weft, subtly altering the tone of the dyes across the panels of shirts cut from this cloth.
