linon Explanation: La toile de batiste est en lin, peut-être que "linon" (qui peut être en lin ou en coton) est plus approprié ici ? |

Batiste Explanation: Oui, ''batiste'' est la traduction correcte. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambric Cambric (US /ˈkeɪmbrɪk/,[1] UK /ˈkeɪmbrɪk/ or /ˈkæmbrɪk/),[2][3][4] or batiste, one of the finest and most dense kinds of cloth,[5] is a lightweight plain-weave cloth, originally from the French commune of Cambrai, woven in greige, then bleached, piece-dyed and often glazed or calendered. Initially it was made of linen; later, the term came to be applied to cotton fabrics as well. Cambric is used for linens, shirtings, handkerchieves and as fabric for lace and needlework.[6] |
