Chambray is a plain weave fabric which uses 2 ply yarns in both the warp and weft, making it slightly denser than a normal plain weave fabric but still smooth and lightweight. In chambray fabrics, the weft (vertical) thread is white while the warp (horizontal) thread is marled or fibre dyed. Chambray is typically blue, but can be any colour, and is commonly used in men's shirts. Chambray doesn't indicate a level of fabric quality but is a reflection of the fabric appearance.
