You may be referring to "Moiré" a name given to a number of fabrics (often silk but other materials are also made into moiré). The technique is achieved either by altering the tension on the warp and weft as the fabric is woven or by the true method "calendering" which puts the folded fabric through a series of ribbed rollers.
Note that wetting the fabric may remove the wavy effect!
