fibrous fabric
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!

fibre tissue
of zoiets. Maar in ieder geval, "fieber" is een typo voor "fiber".

: tissue is not quite the translation for 'weefsel' // zalf!

nou ja fred, als jij liever koorts hebt, moet je het zelf maar weten, maar het is een typo. tissue zou een minder goede vertaling kunnen zijn, maar de vertaling weet Kenneth zalf prima.

fiber = Am. sp. Waarop baseer je de spelling?
