Italian silk polychrome damasks, 14th century

Damask (/ˈdæməsk/; Arabic: دمشق) is a woven, reversible patterned fabric. Damasks are woven by periodically reversing the action of the warp and weft threads.[1] The pattern is most commonly created with a warp-faced satin weave and the ground with a weft-faced or sateen weave.[2] Fabrics used to create damasks include silk, wool, linen, cotton, and synthetic fibers, but damask is best shown in cotton and linen.[1] Over time, damask has become a broader term for woven fabrics with a reversible pattern, not just silks.[3]

There are a few types of damask: true, single, compound, and twill. True damask is made entirely of silk.[3] Single damask has only one set of warps and wefts and thus is made of up to two colors. Compound damask has more than one set of warps and wefts and can include more than two colors.[3] Twill damasks include a twill-woven ground or pattern.[4]
