small or medium size. The design woven looks like a four-pointed star. It is
usually made from wool with a broken twill weave. It has natural stretch
than a jersey knit. It has a soft hand and the same appearance and feel on
both the sides.The pointed check effect is produced by the 2 up - 2 down twill and yarns of contrasting colors in groups of four in both, the warp and the filling. The broken check patter resembles the jagged back teeth of a hound, hence the name Houndstooth Check.
