Tabby and Tabbying
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A very short encyclopedia entry defining 'tabby' as a rich silk that has been tabbied, and 'tabbying' as the process of passing silk or other stuff under a calender with engraved iron or copper rolls. The uneven pressure gives the surface a watered or wavy light-reflecting effect. It concerns a finishing process, not the tabby weave structure.
