v. weave or decorate cloth with an elaborate design; mark with a pattern of wavy lines

adj. of or resembling damask

n. reversible fabric with woven patterns; damask steel, Damascus steel (hand-wrought steel with a wavy pattern etched on its surface)

Damask is a figured fabric of silk, wool, linen, cotton, or synthetic fibers, with a pattern formed by weaving. Made with one warp and one weft in which, generally, warp-satin and weft sateen weaves interchange. Twill or other binding weaves may sometimes be introduced. The term originally referred to ornamental silk fabrics, which were elaborately woven in colours, sometimes with the addition of gold and other metallic threads. Damask weaves are commonly produced today in silk, linen or linen-type fabrics which feature woven patterns featuring flowers, fruit, forms of animal life, and other types of ornament.
