A lightweight twilled fabric with a cotton warp and woolen weft, used in tailoring; a variant spelling of cassinette.
From French cassinette, possibly derived from Italian cassina or related to Kashmir textiles, referring to a mixed-fiber fabric that combines properties of different materials.
Casinet is a fabric engineering marvel — by combining cotton and wool in specific ways, textile makers created something that had the softness of wool with the durability of cotton, perfect for Victorian-era tailoring!
