dessin en grain d'orge

français vers anglais Art / Littérature Textiles / vêtements / mode Basque linen patterns
This is from a translation on flax and linen. The context is the following sentence:

"Des tisserands flamands seraient descendus au XVIe siècle dans la région d’Orthez pour apprendre aux tisserands locaux à traiter le lin et à tisser les armures de ce qui allait devenir le linge basque et béarnais. Ton sur ton, les DESSINS EN GRAIN D'ORGE- , ces fonds appelés « l’oeil landais », « la fleurette » et « la croix basque - de ce grand linge traditionnel trouvent leurs racines dans des savoir-faire séculaires à travers l’Europe. "

As far as I can tell, this seems to mean a diamond-like or teardrop pattern. Any ideas on a more "official" translation? Thanks!
