Aurora-- or anyone?
See the next page (Drap de Milord) where it talks about fabric having
12 leaves and 6-12 picks per repeat? Or, Drap de Prince with "8 leaves
and 3 picks."
Are those weaving terms? If so, what do they mean?
Totally agree-- a most interesting and useful compliation!

Yes, the "leaves" are what we Americans today call "harnesses"; each
"leaf" or "harness" holds a set of heddles for pattern
weaving. "Picks" are what we also call a "shots" of weft.
