Information: - Poplin , also called tabinet ( or tabbinet ) , is a strong fabric in a plain weave of any fiber or blend , with crosswise ribs that typically gives a corded surface . Poplin traditionally consisted of a silk warp with a weft of worsted yarn . In this case , as the weft is in the form of a stout cord the fabric has a ridged structure , like rep , which gave depth and softness to the lustre of the silky surface . The ribs run across the fabric from selvage to selvage . Poplin is now made with wool , cotton , silk , rayon , polyester or a mixture of these . Being a plain under / over weave , if the weft and warp threads are of the same material and size , the effect is a plain woven surface with no ribbing . Shirts made from this material are easy to iron and do not wrinkle easily . Poplins are used for dress purposes , and for rich upholstery work which are formed by using coarse filling yarns in a plain weave . The term poplin originates from papelino , a fabric made at Avignon , France , in the 15th century , named for the papal ( pope 's ) residence there , and from the French papelaine a fabric , normally made with silk , of the same period . Common usage of poplin until about the 20th century was to make silk , cotton or heavy weight wool dresses , suitable for winter wear . Poplin was also a popular upholstery fabric . - Plain weave (also called tabby weave, linen weave or taffeta weave) is the most basic of three fundamental types of textile weaves (along with satin weave and twill). It is strong and hard-wearing, used for fashion and furnishing fabrics. - A textile or cloth is a flexible material consisting of a network of natural or artificial fibres (yarn or thread). Yarn is produced by spinning raw fibres of wool, flax, cotton, or other material to produce long strands. Textiles are formed by weaving, knitting, crocheting, knotting, or felting. - Twill is a type of textile weave with a pattern of diagonal parallel ribs (in contrast with a satin and plain weave). This is done by passing the weft thread over one or more warp threads then under two or more warp threads and so on, with a "step," or offset, between rows to create the characteristic diagonal pattern. Because of this structure, twill generally drapes well. - Taffeta (archaically spelled taffety) is a crisp, smooth, plain woven fabric made from silk or cuprammonium rayons. The word is Persian in origin and means "twisted woven". It is considered to be a "high-end" fabric, suitable for use in ball gowns, wedding dresses, and in interior decoration for curtains or wallcoverings. It is also widely used in the manufacture of corsets and corsetry: it yields a more starched-like type of cloth that holds its shape better than many other fabrics. An extremely thin, crisp type of taffeta is called paper taffeta. - Satin is a weave that typically has a glossy surface and a dull back. The satin weave is characterized by four or more fill or weft yarns floating over a warp yarn or vice versa, four warp yarns floating over a single weft yarn. Floats are missed interfacings, where the warp yarn lies on top of the weft in a warp-faced satin and where the weft yarn lies on top of the warp yarns in weft-faced satins. These floats explain the even sheen, as unlike in other weaves, the light reflecting is not scattered as much by the fibres, which have fewer tucks. Satin is usually a warp-faced weaving technique in which warp yarns are "floated" over weft yarns, although there are also weft-faced satins. If a fabric is formed with a satin weave using filament fibres such as silk, nylon, or polyester, the corresponding fabric is termed a "satin", although some definitions insist that the fabric be made from silk. If the yarns used are short-staple yarns such as cotton, the fabric formed is considered a sateen.
