One of the most easily identifiable checks is the houndstooth or dogstooth check. This weave is produced in a pattern of four light and four dark yarns in both warp and weft. The gun club check is a variation of the houndstooth but using a different colour sequence traditionally on a light coloured ground. 4, record 1, English, - houndstooth%20check
