basketweave


Explanation:
You'd need to see the design to be sure.
Just saying weave or woven might be misunderstood as most fabrics are woven. And weaves can be pretty fine, so they would be unremarkable. That is why I think basketweave is probably a better term. But are they talking about weaves or prints?
