Description

Dobby, or dobbie, is a woven fabric produced on the dobby loom, characterised by small geometric patterns and extra texture in the cloth.^[1] The warp and weft threads may be the same colour or different. Satin threads are particularly effective in this kind of weave as their texture will highlight the pattern.^{[2][failed verification]}

Dobby usually features a simple, repeated geometric pattern.^[3]

Polo shirts are usually made with dobby.^[1] Piqué fabrics are a type of dobby construction.
