shot silk
Shot silk (also called changeant, changeable silk and changeable taffeta) is a fabric which is made up of silk woven from warp and weft yarns of two or more colours producing an iridescent appearance.〔Takeda and Spilker (2010), p. 49〕 A "shot" is a single throw of the bobbin that carries the weft thread through the warp,〔 and shot silk colours can be described as "(colour ) ''shot with'' (colour )." The weaving technique can also be applied to other fibres such as cotton, linen, and synthetics.
==History==
A shot silk vestment of purple and yellow dating from about 698 is described in detail in a document written in about 1170, showing that the technique existed since at least the 7th century.〔Dodwell, C.R.; ''(Anglo-Saxon Art, A New Perspective )'', pp. 145-150, 1982, Manchester UP, ISBN 0-7190-0926-X (US edn. Cornell, 1985)〕 An argument has been made that shot silk was also described as ''purpura'' at this time, the Latin word mainly applied to purple although there are multiple references to ''purpura'' being red, green and black-and-red, as well as "varied".〔 ''Purpura'' is also used to mean iridescence and the play of light, and contemporary descriptions exist indicating that the textile ''purpura'' was a type of silk distinct to other silks in assorted colours.〔 It has also been suggested that illuminations in the Lindisfarne Gospels of c.700 show garments of shot silk being worn by the Four Evangelists.
Shot silks were popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, including warp printing, where the warp was printed before weaving to create chiné or "Pompadour taffeta".
