English term or phrase: Dobby
I am trying to find the translation for the word "Dobby"

Here is the hint that I got from the client:


The word dobby is a corruption of "draw boy" which refers to the weaver's
helpers who used to control the warp thread by pulling on draw threads.

The fabric component is:

Woven - Nylon - Stretch - Dobby - DWR - Passes Rain Wear - Replaces Wn-210004

בד dobby / מנירה


Explanation:
מסתבר שיש למילה הזו תרגום במילון האקדמיה "מנירה"
אינני יודע אם אנשים מכירים את המילה הזו, לכן הצעתי בד dobby. יש לא מעט תוצאות בגוגל בעברית שמכילות בד dobby או פשוט dobby.

שוליית אורגים


Explanation:
The enquirer asked for a terminology for a human assistant, not an object. The assistant here is a kind of apprentice and the word is a שוליה. In this case I would add the word "weaver" i.e., weaver`s helper/apprentice, and in Hebrew that might be שוליית אורגים.
DEFINITION OF שוליה: (משמש גם לנקבה)
עוזר לאומן או לבעל מלאכה; חניך, מתמחה.
• במשך שנים אחדות הוא שימש שוליה של נגר ותיק ועבד בצמוד לו ובהדרכתו.
