Huh? What's a "balloon fabric?

A.In the textile world, the term "fabric" encompasses all textile manufactures which consist of basic elements (like threads or groups of threads) that are interworked (mechanically connected) to one another. Aballoon fabricis a product made from interworked (interlinked, interlaced, wrapped, twisted, etc) balloons, usually (but certainly not limited to) 130's, 260's, or 350's. Much like interworking threads to form a tapestry or reeds to form a basket, any number of balloons and colors can be combined in any number of ways to form an intricate two or three dimensional creation. Balloon fabrics are often created to serve as decorations to hang on walls, as displays for rooms and store windows, and as unusual costumes.  more
