stripe definition and meaning

What is "stripe"?

Stripe is a type of fabric that has stripes woven into it. Stripe fabrics come in various materials, such as cotton, silk, wool, and polyester, and can be either yarn-dyed or printed. Yarn-dyed stripe fabrics are made by weaving colored threads in a specific pattern, while printed stripe fabrics are created by printing stripes onto the surface of the fabric. Stripe fabrics can be used to create a range of clothing items, such as shirts, dresses, and skirts, as well as home decor items like curtains and upholstery. The width, spacing, and color of the stripes can vary, resulting in a wide range of different styles and designs.
