English term or phrase: drape
Drape and elasticity are at opposite ends of a teeter-totter in the yarn world. There are reasons you want one or the other—for a shawl that hugs your shoulders or a pair of socks that stay up. You know a drapey or elastic yarn when you knit with one, but what makes a yarn languorous or snappy?

The drape of the suggested yarn must be taken into consideration, as you may get a very different fabric if you choose a yarn made from a different fibre.

Si può tradurre con "drappeggio" nel caso di filati?

morbidezza/morbido
Explanation:
Ciao Gaia. In questo contesto non avrebbe senso tradurre letteralmente con "drappeggio", ma credo che si faccia riferimento alla morbidezza in opposizione all'elasticità, soprattutto se si considera il paragone molto chiaro dello scialle rispetto ai calzini.

(il) drape / drappeggio


Explanation:
Drape is the way in which any fabric flows. Because of the way in which a crochet fabric is constructed, it can lend itself to stiffer fabric than knitting. This is great for things like bowls, baskets and amigurumi, but isn't as useful when constructing a sweater.

L’eccezionale drappeggio e la straordinaria morbidezza ne fanno un vello senza eguali nel campo della maglieria.
Geneticamente, la struttura delle fibre della lana super Super-geelong è molto più ondulata rispetto alla tradizionale lana merinos, la curvatura della fibra è infatti maggiore del 25%.

Alonissos è la seta bourette di casa Laines di Nord. Realizzata in una bella gamma di colori dalla casa italiana, ha una mano morbida e confortevole con un ottimo drape e una discreta elasticità,

ma lavorandolo a una tensione superiore si rischierebbe i renderlo rigido dato che già così il drape è sufficiente ma non eccellente.

agree  Shera Lyn Parpia: si, è più di morbidezza - si tratta anche del peso, il modo in cui cade la stoffa o la fibra.
