Redina

[Vadim Besprozvanny]

Hello!

Speaking of the word there are nuances to be taken into account. 1)
"redina" is a dialectal word, so any English match should come (ideally)
from the same style; 2) the word "redina" does not refer to such specific
terms as "cotton", "nylon", etc. The definition "неплотная,
редко сотканная ткань" (if there's no doubts we're
talking about а fabric) does not refers to a specific material (wool,
silk) but rather to its structure derived from "редкий". According to
dictionaries of Russian dialects "юбки из редины шили и
кофты, редина самая тонкая, редкая
материя, как испод делаешь" and "толстый
грубый редкий холст, домотканая простынь
из холста".
