Taffeta | Definition

Pronunciation:

taf-fet-a

Definition:

Taffeta is a plain weave, utilizing a single warp thread going over/under a single weft thread.  Some of the benefits of a taffeta weave are silk-like hand-feel, more stretch, and a tighter weave. (This can be helpful for downproofing or waterproofing.)  Good for applications such as quilts, sleeping bags, jackets, and other projects where fabric may be close to your skin.
