peer agreement (net): +1would it be CHINO? or XINÉ (Catalan)? Explanation: GLOSARIO DEL ALGODÓN Cambray.- Tela de tejido plano compuesta de urdimbre de color y trama blanca, se utiliza en vestidos, ropa casual/formal, de dormir, deportiva, infantil y para camisería. Cardar.- Proceso en el cual se limpian las fibras al separar y acomodarlas enforma paralela una de otra. Chifón.- Tela sencilla de tejido de punto liso, sus caras son diferentes entre sí a diferencia del interlock. *****Chino ó Terliz.- Clásica sarga de algodón, hecha de hilo peinado de dos cabos, generalmente mercerizado. Chintz.- Tela de algodón con acabado brillante, generalmente estampada con largos motivos florales. Ampliamente usado en tapicería. Cuenta de hilos.- Indica el número de hilos en trama y urdimbre por pulgada . A mayor numero de hilos, más fina y resistente la tela. Double knit.- Tela de tejido circular del doble de grosor. Hilo Doblado o Torcido.- Dos o más hilos que han sido torcidos para formar un sólo hilo, mas resistente. This was the first thing that came to mind, chino. The other possibility is XINÉ: DIC Estudis Cat definition: yeixit fet amb els fils d'ordit pintats o estampats parcialmente de manera que les diferencies de tension i els encogiments durant el tissatge provoquin, un cop confeccionat, un dibuix lleurgerament esfumat.
