Worsted wool tape was used extensively in the 18th century. It could be found on petticoat & gown hems, wallets, jackets, Regimental coats, Native American garments, bed hangings and slipcovers. Hats were bound in it and garments closed with it. Two examples of tapes used for hem bindings, one from the 18th century & one from the 19th century.

- Our Worsted tapes contain some synthetic for strength purposes.
- If you wish to dye this tape we suggest you use "disperse dye" applied at an increased heat of 115 degrees which will soften the yarn and allow the dye to disperse evenly over the product.
