What Is Leno Texture

Leno, also known as filled scrim, is widely used for bounce drops and cycloramas. Its weave is similar to that of the Sharkstooth Scrim but with the openings filled in. Because of its textured surface, Leno softens and diffuses light, making it popular with lighting designers. Leno is available in Grey and White.

The standard warp yarn is paired with a skeleton or ‘doup’ yarn; these twisted warp yarns grip tightly to the weft which causes the durability of the fabric.
