leno
Open-weave textile
Leno is a thin, open-weave fabric with a gauze-like texture, used for curtains, summer clothing, and similar applications where light passage and airflow matter.
The weave involves twisted warp threads that lock the weft threads in place, creating a stable mesh that resists shifting.
The leno curtains filtered the afternoon sun. (Capitalized Leno is a surname, notably the comedian Jay Leno.)
