💡Pro Tip

Distinguish from 'printed fabric'

杂色织物 refers to fabrics where colors are woven into the threads (e.g., plaid, striped, or heathered fabrics), whereas printed fabric has colors applied to the surface after weaving.

⚡Gold Rule

Context matters

In fashion, 杂色织物 often implies a deliberate design choice for visual interest, while in industrial contexts, it may simply refer to fabrics with inherent color variation.

📖Word Origin

杂色 (zá sè) means 'mixed colors' or 'variegated,' combining 杂 (mixed, diverse) and 色 (color). 织物 (zhī wù) means 'fabric' or 'textile,' from 织 (to weave) and 物 (object, thing). The term describes fabrics intentionally designed with multiple colors or patterns.

📝Usage Notes

Common in textile manufacturing and fashion design. Often used to describe fabrics with intentional color variation, as opposed to fabrics dyed uniformly.
