organdie | Organdie or organdy is a very light, thin fabric woven from tightly twisted cotton yarns. It appears to be transparent and usually has a permanent, crisp, starched finish. Although some stiffening treatments can be washed out, organdie can withstand repeated laundering and only needs to be ironed to bring back its original crispness. Organza is a pure silk fabric which resembles organdie. Organzine is a fine, folded, slightly twisted, filament silk yarn commonly used as warp to weave silk fabrics. See organzine. |
