Poplin, also called tabinet (or tabbinet), is a
fabric consisting of a
silk warp with a
weft of
worsted yarn. As the weft is in the form of a
stout cord the fabric has a ridged structure, like
rep, which gives depth and softness to the lustre of the silky surface. It is made with
wool,
cotton,
silk,
rayon, or any mixture of these, though originally made from silk. The ribs run across the fabric from
selvage to selvage. Poplins are used for dress purposes, and for rich
upholstery work. They are formed by using coarse filling yarns in a plain
weave.
Shirts made from this material are easy to iron and do not wrinkle easily.
