Foulard
A foulard is a lightweight fabric, either twill or plain-woven, made of silk or a mix of silk and cotton. Foulards usually have a small printed design of various colors. Foulard can also refer by metonymy to articles of clothing, such as scarves and neckties, made from this fabric.[1] In men's ties, foulard refers to the pattern rather than the material; it is a small-scale pattern with basic block repeat, also called a set pattern or a tailored pattern.
Foulard is believed to have originated in the Far East. The word comes from the French word foulard, with the same proper and metonymic meanings.[2] In modern French, foulard is the usual word[citation needed] for a scarf or neckerchief.
Foulard fabric is also used in home décor wall coverings.[3]
