| | fibrous fabric | Explanation:
I've got quite some doubt about the typo!
Even 'fiberweefselpatroon' would be a very 'remarkable' term in both Dutch and Flemish.
To be on the safe side, and most likely deliver a translation that is superior the original text, I (just happen to be a qualified textile technologist)would recommend using 'fibrous'.
Wishing you lots of success with this tricky chore, I'll be pleased to supply additional comment or info!

| Grading comment Thanks. A typo does seem to be the most likely explanation, but you never know...
