Description
An inexpensive, plain weave Cotton fabric with a printed design on one side. Calico cloth originated in Calicut, India, by the 11th century and is one of the oldest cotton cloths. Early examples of calico were resist-dyed or stamped to produce colored designs on a light background. The term 'calico' now refers to any cotton fabric printed with a small repetitive designs in one or more colors. In Britain, the term 'calico' is also used for a plain white cotton fabric, similar to Muslin, but slightly heavier. Calico is used for saris, dresses, aprons, and occasional bookcovers.
