2. Bourette - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bourette

   Bourette is a silk fabric with bumps often blended with other yarns made of Bourette fibers. The name "Bourette" is from its constituting fiber. It has a rough surface incorporating multicolored threads and knots of spun silk. The fabric is made with silk bourette and wool or cotton yarn. Bourette is a lightweight single cloth with a rough ...

   Silk: From moths.Single extremely long and fine fiber produced from each cocoon, so usually spooled in multiples before spinning. Exceptionally strong, lustrous, and shiny. Fragile, ages poorly, eventually "shattering." Raw Silk From moths. Fiber from cocoons after the moth has been allowed to emerge, resulting in a rougher fiber.

4. Blend (textile) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blend_(textile)

   A blend is a mixture of two or more fibers.In yarn spinning, different compositions, lengths, diameters, or colors may be combined to create a blend. [1] Blended textiles are fabrics or yarns produced with a combination of two or more types of different fibers, or yarns to obtain desired traits and aesthetics.

5. Noil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noil

   Silk noil is also called "raw silk", although this is a misnomer. Silk noil may also be made from the short fibres taken from silkworm cocoons – either fibres that are naturally shorter or fibres broken by emerging silk moths. Rather than the continuous filament length of silk, shorter fibers are silk noil, which has a slightly rough texture.

6. Slub (textiles) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slub_(textiles)

   A slub in textiles production refers to thickened areas of a fiber or yarn. Slubbed or slubby fabric is woven from slubby yarn (yarn with a very variable diameter). Both high and low slubbiness may be sought. Slubs in spun fibers may be produced deliberately by varying spinning tension (see Novelty yarns#Slub).

7. Yarn - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarn

   Filament yarn consists of filament fibres (very long continuous fibres) either twisted together or only grouped together. Thicker monofilaments are typically used for industrial purposes rather than fabric production or decoration. Silk is a natural filament, and synthetic filament yarns are used to produce silk-like effects.
