What is it that "defines" taffeta?

I just snatched the *most* gorgeous piece of what I'd call taffeta (it's heavy and it *sounds* like taffeta) at Hancocks for $3.00/yard (WoHoo) with 40% cupon. It's pink on one side and lavendar on the other (not shot, though).

Well, I took a picture of the fabric.

You can see both sides of the fabric in the picture.  The blue/lavender
really isn't "true color" but those of you who photograph know that
blue is notoriously difficult to photograph.

Anyway ...  You can see the white warp and the pink and lavendar weft
threads.  It's "shot" only in the sense that you can see the opposite
side of the fabric through the "holes" in the weave.  (I hope that
makes sense!

Thanks!  It really doesn't matter what kind of fabric it is, I'm just
curious.
