Dobby or armoured is a type of fabric that uses different weaving techniques to create patterns, instead of printing the patterns. Threads from different colors can be used together to create multi color patterns in dobby fabric, or even one color can create the patterns with different weaves. The word armored comes from the stripes pattern which is often used in this type of fabric. The patterns that are formed with dobby fabric are not very diverse. Only simple and geometric patterns are possible, due to the limitation of the technique to make dobby fabric. Jacquard satin is also made with the same rule, but the patterns on jacquard fabric are much more complex and diverse.
