Translucent fabric, also known as semi-opaque fabric, consists of materials that are woven solidly but also have open weaves with holes and patterns, allowing some visibility through the fabric. Translucent fabrics can range from slightly transparent when flat to much more transparent when held up to light or placed over objects, as demonstrated by a metallic lame fabric that appears opaque when flat but is clearly translucent when raised slightly. Translucent fabrics include materials like fishnet, lace, and hessian that have both transparent and opaque areas.

ABOUT • Otherwise known as semi – opaque, this group of fabrics consists of materials that are woven in a solid form and material with an open weave which includes holes and patterns. • Fishnet fashion fabric, lace and even hessian could be considered semi opaque, simply because there are some parts you can see through and some you can’t. The group which is more considered translucent consists of fabric with a complete weave that has semi see through visibility ABOUT • This fabric ranges in translucency. Some you can see slightly through when the fabric is flat and some show a lot more translucency when held up to light or over objects. The images below demonstrate this change depending on light and where the fabric is placed. • As you can see with the metallic lame fabric here, when laid flat it appears opaque and you can’t see through to the text. Yet when the fabric is raised even slightly it becomes very obvious the fabric is in fact translucent. So even though the fabric is opaque, when flat it certainly doesn’t belong in the opaque category.
