fabric
Cloth for sewing
Fabric is cloth or textile material, woven or knitted from fibers: cotton fabric, a fabric store.
The word extends to any underlying structure or framework: the fabric of society, the social fabric.
In construction, fabric refers to the basic structure of a building.
The metaphorical uses emphasize interconnection—threads woven together to form something larger.
