Fabrics, Textures, and Materials: What are some of their names?

I'm sure you've come across the name of a fabric that was unfamiliar to you and thought, "What does that look like?" How many times have you seen the fabric after you've learned the of name and though "Ah! So that's what it's called!" I know that has happened to me many times!! Here are just some of the fabrics, textures, and materials, and their corresponding names. I can't list them all. The world of Textiles and their terminology is huge!! There are just too many out there, but this may help.

Jacquard


Lame


Matelasse


Moire


Boucle


Brocade


Chambray


Crewel


Batik


Burn-Out velvet


Chintz


Some names you may recognized, others you may not. The world of textile and fabric is a huge one. Decoding the names may be at bit overwhelming!! Arming yourself with knowledge is key to deciphering that code. But let's face it, that is a daunting task!! This is a good start!!
