Medium Indigo Worsted Wool Stuff

Worsted “stuff”, such as this Medium Indigo Worsted Wool Stuff, referred to a variety of worsted textiles, 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 by such names as camlet, callimancoe and camlettines. Twilled worsteds were woven in various grades and known by such names as shalloon, durants, and lastings.

Indigo, a common color found in wool as well as linen, created colors that ranged from pale to dark in shade.
