	Paisley (design) - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Paisley or Paisley pattern is a droplet-shaped vegetal motif, similar to half of the Yin yang symbol, the Indian bodhi tree leaf, or the mango tree.
		From roughly 1800 to 1850, using Jacquard looms, the weavers of the town of Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland, adapted the design and wove woollen shawls, hence the design is popularly known as the Paisley pattern.
		Paisley became popular again in the late 1980s/early 1990s particularly with African-American gangs, the Bloods and the Crips, when, respectively, red or blue paisley bandanas were worn as a signifier of gang affliation.

	Kashmir and Shawls of Paisley Design
		Paisley produced shawls the most economically and for the longest period, the name becoming synonymous with the place of manufacture.
		Paisley introduced an attachment to the handloom in 1812, which enabled five different colours of yarn to be used, instead of just two colours, indigo and madder, thus better imitating the Kashmir shawls.
		By 1865 a reversible shawl was invented at Paisley which was of double thickness with all the loose unclipped threads sandwiched between the two layers, resulting in a heavy and unpopular shawl.

	Thistle & Broom :: The history of the Paisley pattern
		While the swirling arabesque pattern was certainly not invented here it is almost universally known for the town which gave rise to its popularity in the 18th and 19th centuries - Paisley, Scotland.
		Located about 11 miles from Glasgow and home to a magnificent 12th century abbey, Paisley became the epicentre (more shawls were produced here than in any other location) for weaving shawls and, as a result, "Paisley" became the generic term for the pattern.
		The shawls were oversized squares as well as rectangular in shape with later shawls measuring four metres in length and two metres in width and usually made from blends of silk, wool and cotton.

		The "paisley" pattern was actually supposed to be hidden in the original dark burgundy fabric (see the full story below!), but over time, exposure to the sun and elements caused the burgundy to fade, bringing the "paisley" pattern to prominence, as you can see in the photos below.
