Jacquard technology creates intricate patterns within woven cloth. Sewport describes its use in formal garments and home textiles, with natural and synthetic yarns among the possible ingredients. The pattern is therefore a construction feature rather than evidence of one compulsory fibre.

Jacquard Patterning Does Not Require One Fabric Weight

The actual yarns and weave density determine much of the weight, drape and handle. A decorative curtain and a patterned jacket can both use jacquard while behaving differently, even before finishing adds further changes to the surface.
