1. coarse cloth with a bright print

Description

Calico is a heavy plain-woven textile made from unbleached, and often not fully processed, cotton. It may also contain unseparated husk parts. The fabric is far coarser than muslin, but less coarse and thick than canvas or denim. However, it is still very cheap owing to its unfinished and undyed appearance.

मूलत: भारत के कालीकट नाम पर वहाँ से इंग्लैंड जानेवाले सूती वस्त्र को कैलिको कहते थे। अब साधारण बुनावट के सफेद सूती कपड़े को इंग्लैंड में कैलिको कहते हैं।
