Poplin , also called tabinet (or tabbinet), is a strong fabric in a plain woven or mixed fabric, with horizontal ribs that usually provide a woven surface.
Poplin traditionally consists of silk thread with wool yarn thread. In this case, since the feed is in the form of a strong cable, the fabric has a serrated structure, like a rep, which gives depth and softness to the silk surface luster. The ribs ran across the fabric from the selvedge to the woven edges of the weave.
Poplin is now made with wool, cotton, silk, rayon, polyester or this mixture. Being plain under/over weave, if the weft and warp yarn is of the same material and size, the effect is the surface of plain weave without ribs. Cloth made of this material is easy to iron and not easily tangled.
Poplins are used for clothing purposes, and for rich coatings shaped by coarse filling yarns in plain weave.
The term poplin comes from papelino , a fabric made in Avignon, France, in the 15th century, named for the papal papacy there, and from the French papelaine fabrics, usually made with silk, from the same period. The general use of poplin until about the 20th century is to make silk, cotton or heavy heavy wool dress, suitable for winter clothing. Poplin is also a popular coating fabric.
In the early 1920s, British-made cotton poplin was introduced to the United States, but the American market thought that the name had a heavy connotation and arbitrarily named it as a wide cloth, a name that survived for cotton or polyester-cotton fabrics used for mix. shirting. In Europe, wide fabrics typically depict solid woolen fabrics with a smooth finish.
