A short encyclopedia entry defining cretonne. It describes the cloth as originally a strong white fabric with hemp warp and linen weft, named for the Normandy village of Creton, and now a stout printed cotton cloth used like chintz. It notes that cretonne may be printed on both sides and may have a woven fancy pattern beneath the print.
