Spanish term or phrase: escocraftcés
This is from a conversation where a number of Argentine artists are talking about Feliciano Cinturion, a Paraguayan artist who lived in Argentina before dying of AIDS in the 90s. He did a lot of work on blankets with plaids. No hits on the internet for this word.

"Y el uso del estampado de la tela, como por ejemplo el escocraftcés. De alguna manera, la geometría banalizada por los objetos comunes le interesaba mucho y, también, la ornamentación floral."

In Google Images, I see a goodly number of plaids with embroidered motifs, also fabrics that could be Provencal.
