Jacquard:
a description of techniques used for knitting and weaving to obtain large-scale and/or figured designs (named after the inventor, Joseph Marie Jacquard, 1752-1834). Jacquard looms are fitted with harnesses which facilitate control over individual warp threads, rather than groups of warp threads as in the case of non-jacquard looms. Consequently, jacquard looms are capable of weaving much more complex and sophisticated patterns than are possible using dobby machines.
