Eolienne

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eolienne is the name of a rep-like fabric made of half silk that has been used for more than a hundred years.

Silk was originally used for the warp thread . In the meantime, silk has been replaced by viscose fibers . The weft thread, on the other hand, usually consists of combed or viscose yarn and has only one direction of twist. Similar fabrics are Veloutine and Burat .
