  • Nomenclature des tissus
DEF

Tissu à aspect velouté, établi suivant une armure où la chaîne domine d'un côté et la trame de l'autre comme dans l'armure satin.

OBS

Dans la duvetine, le fil de trame est choisi d'un numéro un peu plus gros que celui du fil de chaîne, et peu tordu : c'est lui qui, au grattage, fournit le poil qui donne l'aspect velouté recherché. Ce poil est plus court, plus fin et plus serré que celui du molleton. Certaines duvetines sont obtenues par simple feutrage du tissu.
