often, the color and fabric of the "yarmulke" can be a sign of adherence to a specific religious movement. the israeli national religious community is often referred to by the name "kipot srugot" כיפות סרוגות, literally "woven yarmulkes". similarly, some haredi sects are referred to by the name "kipot shkhorot" כיפות שחורות, literally "black yarmulkes".
