Soft Pink Worsted Wool "Stuff"

Worsted “stuff” referred to a variety of worsted textiles, such as this Soft Pink Worsted Wool "Stuff", originally produced in Norwich, then later in York. These lightweight goods were characterized by their tightly twisted yarn, fineness of weave, and smooth finish. The grades of stuff varied from coarse to fine, and could be plain or twill woven. Plain woven worsteds were woven in various grades and known as camlets, callimancoes, and camlettines. Twilled worsteds were woven in various grades and known as shalloons, durants, and lastings. In the 18th century, the word "pink" was used  to describe various tones from dark pink to light pink in printed and dyed textiles.
