gingham

Classic picnic cloth

Gingham is a lightweight cotton fabric woven in a checked pattern, typically white and one other color.

The checks are formed by the weave itself rather than printed on.

Associated with tablecloths, picnic blankets, and casual summer clothing: a blue gingham dress, red gingham curtains.
