A difficult material to produce, it is composed of the hair of shaved displacer beasts (whose hair is normally short anyway) and weaving it into a suit of cloth able of distorting the air around it. As a result, displacine thread is somewhat rare as it is usually more trouble than it's worth to make the material. When made correctly, it can provide a very potent defense against attackers by giving a miss chance.
Displacine is worthless for shields and weapons, even flexible weapons, but can be made into fabric armor and normal clothing. Clothing is often a rich dark purple, getting more silky and iridescent the higher the thread count one has. As thread count goes up, so does the distortion, until one barely seems to be in their correct spot, flickering around rapidly at the slightest adjustment in position.
