  • Apparently a textile or fabric epithet as well, judging from this Wordnik Examples item: "Mr Chaturvedi said that, handloom is a little bit costlier than machine made fabric, but offers quality and facilities for customization and a variety of designs are also available." Wonder if that word appears on the Phrontistery list of fabrics?
