n. Late 16th century from French tabis, based on Arabic al-‘Attābiyya, the name of the quarter of Baghdad where tabby was manufactured. The most basic form of binding or weave, composed of one set of warps and one set of wefts in which each end passes over one and under one pick. It is the simplest of weave structures, used commonly all over the world. It can be woven as balanced, warp-faced or weft-faced, with a variety in between. It is sometimes referred as Plain Weave even if it is not recommended. In other languages, for silk fabrics it is called taffetas weave.
