Taffeta Fabric Taffeta is a medium to heavyweight lustrous fabric made from silk, wool, rayon or synthetics. It has good strength and durability. It is resistant to chemicals and abrasion. The fabric accepts color well and is easy to wash. It provides a crisp hand and produces a rustling sound when rubbed together. It is similar to satin, but is stiffer. It is a dressy fabric.

Taffeta is a weft-way rib cloth. It is prepared by using a slightly thicker weft than warp. Wool taffeta is produced from worsted yarns. The stiffness of the fabric depends upon how closely it is woven. Hand woven taffeta is the best.

The word 'Taffeta' has been derived from a Persian word 'Taftah', which 'Twist'. Taffeta has originated in Persia (Iran) in the 16th century. Then, it was made from silk or linen. It used to be a luxury cloth for women and was used in all types of women's wear.
