I was trying to figure out the technical term for metallic fabrics. I knew of Lamé but I thought it was more of a metallic spandex material and then figured out it was the term I was looking for. Also that there is a difference between fabrics woven with metallic threads (lamé) and fabrics woven with threads wrapped with metallic fibers (guipé). I had a fabric swatch of lamé and a sweater knit with guipé yarn and showed my roommate.
