Bright Grey Worsted Wool
Worsted “stuff”, such as this Bright Grey Worsted Wool, 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 known by such names as camlet, callimancoe and camlettine. Twilled worsteds were known by such names as shalloon, durant, and lasting.
