herringboned
Woven in chevrons
Herringboned describes something arranged or constructed in a herringbone pattern—rows of short diagonal lines alternating direction to form a zigzag resembling fish bones.
The term applies to fabric weaves, brick or tile layouts, and stitching: a herringboned tweed jacket, the herringboned floor of the old library.
In skiing, herringboned means ascended a slope using the herringbone technique, with skis angled outward in a V shape for traction.
