Early in the twentieth century, downproof fabric for making feather ticks -- the cases of pillows and featherbeds -- was a strong, dense, twill-woven cotton that always had narrow yarn-dyed stripes each consisting of a very narrow indigo stripe flanked by a pair of two-thread indigo stripes. The background was white, but not a brilliantly-bleached white. Black threads might be substituted for indigo-dyed threads after black dyes got cheap enough to use on utilitarian fabrics. This pattern continued to symbolize bedding for a long time after we quit stuffing our pillows with goose feathers, and is still sometimes called a "ticking stripe" when printed on or woven into modern fabrics. None of the "ticking striped" fabrics I've seen lately are actually ticking.
