temporary use and width Explanation: I could only find one meaning through several dictionaries (Académie française and technical glossaries) Some retailers associate coton or coton/synthetic linen with "laize" to indicate the price but no evidence of a specific association with one type of material Hope this helps Laize (n.f) Largeur d'un tissu, d'un bord à l'autre. On distingue, la laize totale qui inclue les lisières, la laize utile qui est la largeur du tissu sans les lisières, la laize tombée de métier (juste après le tissage) et la laize finie (après l'ennoblissement). http://tissage.estit.fr/terminologie.htm Reference: http://www.ifth.org/lexique_fr.asp Reference: http://atilf.atilf.fr/Dendien/scripts/generic/cherche.exe?22... |
