Lawn cloth
Lawn cloth or lawn is a
plain weave textile, originally
linen but now chiefly
cotton. Lawn is designed using fine, high
count yarns, which results in a silky feel. The fabric is made using either
combed or
carded yarns. When lawn is made using combed yarns, with a soft feel and slight luster, it is known as "
nainsook". The term lawn is also used in the textile industry to refer to a type of starched crisp-finish given to a cloth product. The finish can be applied to a variety of fabrics, from print cloth to fine plain cloth.
