Best Answer

Poplin is a type of fabric composed of a silk warp with a weft of worsted yarn - basically a string of yarn snakes through perpendicular strings of silk. The weft gives the fabric structure and makes it resilient to wrinkling while the silk gives the fabric lustre and softness. Poplin can be made of a variety of materials. Poplin's relation to the Church is merely by name; during the years when the papacy resided at Avignon, France, the dressy fabric was named after the pope, hence poplin.
