A short encyclopedia entry on poplin, a corded fabric. It gives the etymology from Avignon, the papal residence, and notes the fifteenth-century silk papeline. It also covers the introduction of the manufacture to Ireland in 1775 by French Protestant refugees. It describes modern poplin as a silk warp with a heavier worsted weft, giving a rep-like corded surface, and mentions double poplin.
