If it were moth webbing, I'd expect to see some granular frass in it. If there's no frass or moth pupal exuviae, then assume it's spider.

Remember, it's the larvae of WCM's that spin the silken threads from their salivary glands. With this being true, you'd see all sorts of damage and pelletized frass associated with the webbing. There is no damage or frass on this piece of fabric.
