What material would be best for a lamp, or "cloth", or  curtain/drapery on 
a window?

The problem is, that such material can be lighted by light comming from 
behind, but using transparent or filter gives bad results because it makes 
it look like glass/plastic/folium, not like "cloth".

Some random ideas are to use - strong normal like granite 2 scale .1 but no 
refletion/specular, low brilliance, no_shadow, diffuse media (but this is 
very slow), or tricks with adding shadowless lights to color_group of 
objects that are made of such material...
