To be precise, it is called calico, and was originally a cotton fabric exported from the Calicut (Kozhikode) region of India, but now it generally refers to plain woven cloth (calico) made with a 30-count warp thread and a 36-count weft thread. It has been bleached, dyed, printed, and other processes and has been widely used for clothing, but due to the trend toward higher quality, there is a strong trend toward poplin-class fabric. It is also often used for handkerchiefs, tabi socks, aprons, women's and children's clothing, and wide width fabrics for sheets.

正確にはキャリコとよび、もとインドのカリカット(コジコーデ)地方から輸出された綿織物であったが、現在では一般に経糸(たていと)に30番、緯糸(よこいと)に36番の綿糸を使って平織にした金巾(かなきん)(キャラコ)類をさしている。漂白、染色、捺染(なっせん)加工などを施して、衣料用として広く使用されてきたが、高級化の傾向からポプリン級の生地(きじ)に移行する傾向が強い。なおハンカチーフ、足袋(たび)地、エプロン、婦人・子供服などや、広幅のものはシーツ地に使われるものが多い。 [角山幸洋] [参照項目] | | |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
