<p>[QUOTE=&quot;User 67, post: 18251, member: 67&quot;]<i>Vintage Barkcloth</i>, as the name implies, got it&#039;s name from the Hawaiian <i>Tapa </i>Cloth made from the fibers of Kapa or Mulberry bark. It is distinguished by a cotton momie weave (or Crepe weave) which creates little bumps or what look like nubs in the various sized threads.</p><p><br /></p><p>These cotton fabrics were loomed in the 1940s and 1950s into a medium-heavy weight for upholstery, curtains and etc. They were typically (screen) printed with tropical patterns like large leaves and orchids, later the patterns became more stylized and jazzy, similar fabric with genra scenes, like cowboys for a boys bedroom, have also been called &#039;barkcloth&#039;; though the pattern has nothing to do with Hawaii or the tropics, the textile is a medium/heavy cotton momie weave intended for upholstery or curtains.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
