A lightweight cotton fabric with a smooth finish, similar to muslin or linen, used in garments and household textiles.
Possibly derived from place name (Ferrara) plus '-teen' suffix, or from French origins; used in 18th-19th century English textile commerce.
Ferrateen is one of those practical fabrics that everyday people wore—not silk for nobles, but a dependable, washable cotton blend that was perfect for work clothes and everyday household items.
