CE ÎNSEAMNĂ CRETONNE ÎN ENGLEZĂ?
creton
Cretonul a fost inițial o țesătură albă puternică, cu urzeală de cânepă și bătătură de in. Cuvântul este spus uneori ca fiind derivat din Creton, un sat din Normandia, unde se desfășura fabricarea lenjeriei; alte surse serioase menționează că cretonul a fost inventat de Paul Creton, locuitor al Vimoutiers, în Pays d'Auge, Normandia Inferioară, Franța, un sat foarte activ în industria textilă în secolele trecute. Cuvântul este aplicat acum pe o cârpă de bumbac puternică, imprimată, care este mai stufoasă decât chintz, dar folosită în aceleași scopuri. De obicei, este neglijat și poate fi imprimat pe ambele fețe și chiar cu modele diferite. Frecvent cretonne are un model de țesătură fantezist de un fel care este modificat de designul imprimat. Este uneori făcut cu un băț de deșeuri de bumbac.
