Folgorant

FOLGORANT

A fabric woven from a cotton warp and rayon weft in a 5-shaft twill weave. Set about 46 ends and 88 picks per inch in narrow width, about 27¹/₂-in. The warp is 2/50's cotton and the weft 120 denier rayon. The fabric is Italian. A crinkled effect is produced during finishing, when an embossing calender is used. The warp is yam dyed in dark colours and white or a light shade of coloured weft is used and, being finer set than the warp, gives various effects according to the way in which light strikes the fabric.
