Patterned Turkey red fabric

           
   
Until 1810 the Turkey red process could only be used to produce plain red fabric or yarn. After this date a method was available for producing patterned fabric. These patterns were made by destroying the red colour where the design was to be and printing other colours in these areas. Two methods were developed for doing this.
