Katherine's guess when I spoke to her yesterday - as a weaver of upholstery fabrics, with no specialist knowledge concerning these specific applications as far as I'm aware - was that "Tapestry" is woven from worsted wool. The term 'worsted' refers to the method by which the wool is spun.
"Tapestry is a heavy textile with a woven design, often made of cotton or linen blends and sometimes including gold or silver thread.
Also referred to as Jacquard, due to its woven design using a Jacquard loom, tapestry is ideal for heavier upholstery projects including curtains, blinds, bed heads, wall hangings and more."
