open weave

Airy textile pattern

Open weave describes fabric construction with visible gaps between the threads, creating a loose, breathable texture.

Gauze, cheesecloth, and burlap are open-weave fabrics.

The opposite is a tight or close weave.

The open weave lets light filter through the curtains.
