fabric
Definition
Manufactured assembly of interlacing fibers, filaments, and/or yarns having (1) substantial surface (planar) area in relation to its thickness, and (2) adequate mechanical strength to give it a cohesive structure. Most fabrics are knitted or woven, but some are produced by non-woven processes such as braiding, felting, and twisting. Applied loosely, 'fabric' also includes laces, meshes, and nets. See also textile.
