About Tapestry
Tapestry is a woven fabric characterized by its jacquard construction, which allows for complex designs and patterns to be woven directly into the fabric rather than printed. Typically made from a blend of cotton, wool, and polyester, tapestry is known for its durability and aesthetic appeal. The fabric's weight and thickness can vary, but it generally has a substantial feel, making it suitable for upholstery, drapery, and decorative applications. The intricate designs often tell a story or depict scenes, making tapestry not just a functional fabric but also a work of art.
