Es el ingenio bordador de los
pañuelos de Manila, el inventor del tipo de rameado más vistoso y
elegante, el poeta fecundísimo de esos madrigales de crespón compuestos
con flores y rimados con pájaros.

He is the embroidery genius of Manila shawls, the conceiver of the most colorful and elegant type of cloth, the most prolific poet of those madrigals on silk, composed with flowers and rhyming with birds.

That is interesting, thank you. Yes, all the ones I saw were made of silk; that was probably the most common material.

by marina 1 month, 1 week agoCrepon is a lightweight, plain weave fabric that is made from highly twisted yarns. It is typically made from cotton, but can also be made from silk, wool or synthetic fibers. Crepon is known for its unique texture, which is created by the high twist in the yarns used to make it. This texture gives the fabric a crinkled or crimped appearance, which can be enhanced through the use of special finishing techniques.
'crespón' could be translated as silk or gauze.
