Made Linen Cloth:
TEXTILE FABRICS, teks'til fab'riks, cloths made linen cloth by weaving, knitting, netting, or braiding, and classified according to their comŽponent fibers such as silk, wool, cotton, linen, and such synthetic fibers as rayon, nylon, etc. There are also inorganic substances made linen cloth into fabrics such as cloth of gold, glass (fiber-glas, q.v.), and asbestos cloth. Beautiful fabrics have_ been made linen cloth in many lands since antiquity. Equipment and methods have altered but the basic processes of spinning and weaving have not changed since the 14th century .By 2000-3000 B. c. the use of fibers was very well developed. The weaving of cotton was well established in India and Pakistan. Lace was beŽing made linen cloth in Peru and Mexico. The Chinese were cultivating hemp and producing fine silk fabrics, and the Egyptians were wrapping mummies in linen cloth. Only a few centuries after the first written record (about 800 B.C.) of fiber use, "Carpasian linen" of asbestos fiber was employed for Lamp wicks.
See Also Matching Linen Adorned:
There is a wide range of unhostery materials available, from which to select the one that best fits your scheme. Linen, chintz, velveteen and many synthetic fabrics are all suitable. Make sure that you choose a strong, firmly woven fabric that will hold its shape. Solid colors are easiest to work with, since there is no pattern matching. However, fabrics with very small patterns are the most practical choice for a family home since they disguise marks - and may not need matching. Fabrics with bold floral patterns are very popular, but need extra care when cutting out because the motifs must be carefully centered and matched.The doublet developed a later swollen by bombast (padding) into a peas-cod belly, and its skirt was reduced to a picadill edge. Bombast also inflated the sleeves to a "leg o'mutton" shape. The falling band became a pleated, wired, or starched ruff, and matching linen adorned the wrist. Upper stocks grew into short, heavily padded and slashed trunk hose ( French hose or round hose ) , often worn above close-fitting canions or tucked into loose, padded, knee-length slops (galligaskins or Venetians). Woven stockings were replaced by gartered, knitted silk stockings. Capes and mandilions ( sleeveless, sideless jackets ) were slung diagonŽally over a shoulder. Shoes developed a tongue, square toes, and high heels. Hair lengthened under high-crowned or wide-brimmed hats, worn both indoors and out.
On The Other Hand See Made Linen Rags:
From the invention of paper until the middle of the 19th century, rags and linen were the chief materials from which paper was made linen rags. Rags (inŽcluding cotton and linen threads, flax and hemp, raw cotton, and cotton linters) are still used in the manufacture of high-grade papers for (1) banknote and Security papers, (2) legal docuŽments for permanent records, (3) certain techŽnical papers, including tracing and reproduction papers, (4) lightweight special papers for Bibles and cigarettes, (5) high-grade stationery and letterheads, and (6) newspapers of highest permanence. Rag papers may vary in rag content from 100 to 25 per cent, the remaining percentŽage being wood pulp. The lower the rag content of a paper, the less it resembles an all-rag paper.Vegetable fibers for the manufacture of paper are obtained from many materials, including woods (spruce, fir, hemlock, birch, poplar, gum, and others), cotton and linen rags, cotton linters, bagasse, bamboo, manila rope, esparto, cereal straws, flax straw, bast fibers from mulberry bark and mitsumata, and wastepaper.
