Albatross is a light, soft wool fabric with a fuzzy, slightly creped surface. It has a neat, worsted-like look. The name comes from its texture, which reminded people of an albatross’s breast. Albatross is made from wool or wool blends and can be plain or twill, both with a loose weave. It is used to make soft clothing such as baby garments and negligees.
