Material type | Woven fabric |
Dobby, or dobbie, is a woven fabric produced on the dobby loom, characterised by small geometric patterns and extra texture in the cloth. [1] The warp and weft threads may be the same colour or different. Satin threads are particularly effective in this kind of weave as their texture will highlight the pattern. [2][ failed verification]
Dobby usually features a simple, repeated geometric pattern. [3]
Polo shirts are usually made with dobby. [1] Piqué fabrics are a type of dobby construction.
