Tabby is a type of fabric characterized by its simple, plain weave structure. It is made from two sets of yarns, one running horizontally (weft) and the other vertically (warp), which creates a sturdy and durable textile. Tabby fabric can be made from various fibers, including cotton, linen, and silk, making it versatile for different uses. This fabric is commonly used in clothing, upholstery, and home textiles due to its strength and ease of care. The plain weave allows for a smooth surface, making it suitable for printing and dyeing, which enhances its aesthetic appeal in fashion and interior design.
