*** Editor's Note ***
Some of you might ask, what is ticking fabric... Ticking is usually made from 100% cotton or a blend of cotton and linen in a herringbone weave. In a ticking stripe you have the central coloured, broad stripe with a thin stripe either side usually in the same colour – this gives the illusion of a wider stripe without it being too bold.
With its subtle yet sophisticated striped pattern, ticking fabric is considered by many to be a classic choice for upholstery, duvets, curtains, and other decorative textiles. Ticking, a staple of classic French Country style and farmhouse décor, has a long history and very humble origins.
Ticking fabric has been around for hundreds of years—some secondhand sources I found claimed it to be more than 1,000 years old, but I couldn’t confirm. What we do know for sure is that the word ticking itself comes from the Greek word theka, which means case or covering. Until the twentieth century, ticking referred to a woven fabric, originally linen and later cotton, used as the covering for straw or feather mattresses.
