Gossamer fabric is a thin, sheer woven fabric. The structure of the fabric is similar to a gauze. It is usually made of silk, cotton, or wool. The fabric may be coated with rubber to make it waterproof.[1][2][3]

The name of the fabric is said of something very fine and delicate,[4] and it is associated with a thread-like filmy substance spun by small spiders.[5]
