Monsha figured gauze

Monsha “figured gauze” combines sections of plain and leno weaves to produce an open fabric with decorative motifs. Sha is a type of leno or cross weave in which spiraling pairs of mated warp threads are twisted around consecutive weft threads to produce a light, transparent fabric with an open weave structure.
