What does it look like?

Poplin weave is a type of fabric weave characterized by a ribbed appearance created by a combination of one plain thread and one slubbed thread, with the slubbed thread running across the warp and the plain thread running across the weft. Poplin is a strong, durable fabric that is often used for dress shirts and upholstery.

Short history

Poplin, also known as poplin or tabinet, is a weaving technique that uses flat weave (crossed threads). It is mainly applied to cotton to make a smooth and thin fabric. It was first developed in the fifteenth century in the French region of Avignon and the word itself means "papal."

Properties of poplin

Due to its fine weave, the fabric is very soft and offers high comfort. Poplin can also be made from fabrics other than cotton, the most expensive poplin fabric is made from a combination of wool and silk. Because the fabric is supple, strong, and has good wrinkle resistance, this technique is very suitable for making casual and neat shirts.
