عربي مصطلح أو جملة: الخام / الكتان
This is from an Iraqi text listing types of textiles. I am not familiar with either of these words, and in different dictionaries both are defined as linen. Are these two words for linen? Or do they refer to differnt types of fabric?

...و"الموصلين" والخام، والحرير، والصّوف، والسّاتان المصنع، والكتان

Many thanks in advance.

أنجليزي ترجمة:calico / linen
شرح:
Just going by what I found in the dictionary, الكتان is defined as linen, while الخام is defined as calico or cotton cloth.

In British English, "calico" refers to "a type of cotton cloth, typically plain white or unbleached."

  -> Thank you, Hadi.

موافق  Lucinda Wills: Muslin is the word I know for this type of fabric. Interesting, I always thought calico referred to the small flowered print designs on heavy cotton fabric, not the fabric itself.

  -> Thanks, Lucinda. That's what I thought, too, but it looks like the word is used differently in the UK.
