... but not as esasperato as me!
Talking about voluminous fabric effects, obviously a very thick yarn, but is there a tech term for this stuff?
Thanks

(extremely) high-volume specialty yarns
Explanation:
As far as I remember from my experience in the textile industry, we used to call such items "specialty yarns".

You could call it "high-volume" if you want to describe the effect or "multiple count" if you want to indicate the construction.

If you need an English adjective for "esasperato", "extreme" is often appropriate.

extra plied yarns


Explanation:
it's just a suggestion - the translation of titolo for textiles is "count"
and under yarn count I hit this site
http://www.margaret-peel.com.au/ycount.htm

and Ms Peel explains what count is and that there is a thing called "plied yarns" where there is more than one "count" so bob's your uncle - or so I thought....
The only thing that came to mind for "esasperato" was extra....
