The history of poplin
In the 15th century, the word poplin was derived from the French word papelaine, a fabric made from a blend of silk and wool. It was used to make winter garments because the fabric was both sturdy and soft. Papeline, however, was originally derived from the word papelino, a silk or wool fabric made in Avignon. It was used to make garments for the Pope.
At that time, poplin was still considered a dense textile made of wool and silk, but nowadays the term refers to the weave. Poplin is therefore not tied to any particular thread.

The making of poplin
Poplin is a specific type of weave in which the thin warp thread is tightly woven and the thicker weft thread is woven loosely. Approximately twice as many warp threads as weft threads are used, making the fabric particularly resistant to wear while remaining soft and fine.
