Is it like a lightweight (almost handkerchief-weight) cotton, which
could mean it's pillow ticking? (You can Google for pillow ticking and
see if it looks the same.)

I don't click on a PDF any more often than I can help, but the
comments sounds as though you guys are talking about a ticking stripe.
Early in the twentieth century, downproof fabric for making feather
ticks -- the cases of pillows and featherbeds -- was a strong, dense,
twill-woven cotton that always had narrow yarn-dyed stripes each
consisting of a very narrow indigo stripe flanked by a pair of
two-thread indigo stripes. The background was white, but not a
brilliantly-bleached white. Black threads might be substituted for
indigo-dyed threads after black dyes got cheap enough to use on
utilitarian fabrics.

This pattern continued to symbolize bedding for a long time after we
quit stuffing our pillows with goose feathers, and is still sometimes
called a "ticking stripe" when printed on or woven into modern
fabrics.

None of the "ticking striped" fabrics I've seen lately are actually
ticking.
