Description
1) The name given to two types of textiles because their soft, fleecy texture resembles the breast of the albatross bird. Both albatross textiles have a plain weave, but the first, made from a lightweight wool has a crepe-like surface while the second, of cotton, has a napped surface. They are usually soft, light in color and used for sleepwear.
2) A large seabird of the family Diomedeidae that ranges from the Southern Ocean to the North Pacific.
