Tamis
Tamis is a coarse worsted cloth, originally used for straining sauces. The term derives from the French word tamis (‘sieve’). It is now sometimes used as the ground material for coarse forms of embroidery. The word is also used for a sieve, especially for Indian cooking (also known as a drum sieve or chalni).
