Regarding the origin of the word “Kelsch”, it seems that it comes from the adjective “kölnisch” (from cologne) recalling the use of “Cologne blue” cultivated on this side of the Rhine since the 8th century . Indeed, Charlemagne had ordered and governed by very strict edicts the planting of pastel (giving the blue color) of the dyers.
Others put forward the idea that the word “kelsch” could be of Celtic origin. Indeed, the Celts planted flax and knew how to weave checkered fabrics, as the fabrics of the Scottish clans still bear witness to today…
