Challis (fabric)

Challis, sometimes referred to as challie^[1] or chally,^[2] is a lightweight woven fabric, originally a silk-and-wool blend, which can also be made from a single fibre, such as cotton, silk or wool,^[3] or from man-made fabrics such as rayon.^[4] It was first manufactured in Norwich, England, in about 1832, when it was designed as a thin, soft material similar to Norwich crepe, but matte-textured rather than glossy, and more pliable.^[3]^[5] It was being exported to Australia in 1833.^[6] Challis could be made with woven designs, or printed.^[5] 'French challis' has a glossy finish.^[3] The designs were often floral, paisley, or geometric,^[7] and based on French silk patterns.^[3]

The term is derived from an Anglo-Indian word, shallee, which means 'soft'.^[7] At least one source suggests the term is American Indian.^[8]
