Fabric Descriptions
I need to describe some clothes and fabrics in Spanish for my job and appart from the colours (that is the easy part with all the claro and oscuro) I also need some terms to describe the qualities (like silk, cotton, velvet) and the patterns (like striped, see-through, etc). I will need both the english and spanish terms with the right spelling.
Feel free to add any additional information I might need.. Thanks!

Silk = seda; Cotton = algadón; Velvet = terciopelo; Striped = a rayas; Nylon = nylon or nilón; Fabric = tejido or fábrica; See-through = transparente or diáfano ; Light weight = lijero; Heavy = grueso (actually means thick)
Hope these help

Hey, thanks a lot to those who helped. Since english is not my first language, it is hard for me to write a list of the terms that I need. again, thanks a lot Calvo,you helped me a lot, indeed. If someone knows any website or link that would be great, too.
You can find most of these yourself just by typing them into the dictionary box. Give us a list to start with and I´m sure people will be happy to add.
I think see-through is "fino" or "transparente".
