Description
A tightly woven fabric or ribbon with narrow horizontal ridges. Grosgrain originated in France. The stiff, plain-weave, fabric is usually made from Silk or rayon warp and heavier Cotton weft threads that produce the cross-grain ribs. Grosgrain has been used for ribbons, book covers, and trim on clothing.
