Habutai

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Habutai or Habotai is one of the most basic plain weaves. Whilst it was traditionally woven in Japan, most Habutai is today woven in China. It is normally a lining silk but can also be used for T-shirts, lampshades, summer blouses or very light lingerie. It is also known as "Jap Silk" or "Parachute Silk". It is quite easy to dye and can be found in many stores.
