During the Second Crusade, weavers were brought into Italy to reproduce this fine pattern. In the 1600's weavers were producing fine linens in Belgium and the Netherlands. By the 1700's Damask was being produced also in France. Linens with the Damask pattern at this time was only being used by well-to-do and aristocrat Europeans and Americans. Ireland, Italy and France are now the countries where the finest damask is produced.
