   The types of fabric weaves and fabric names can often create confusion, as they do not always indicate the fabric composition. For example, "poplin" can be made from pure cotton or have a blend of synthetic fibers, and "denim" can have various compositions, although it always features a diagonal weave structure. It is important to understand both the fabric name and composition to choose the most suitable material for a specific project.
