Subject: Textile terminology

Textile terminology

From: Enrico Flaiani <eflaiok<-at->

I am looking for information about the differences about some kind
of textiles, in particular "Dutch cloth", "Holland cloth" and
"Antwerp cloth".  I am not certain about this terminology: my
sources are written in Italian language and are about "tela d'Oland
a" and "tela d'Anversa" (actually for the latter the manuscript
reads "Amvers").

My reference dates back to 1844 but it is a late copy of more
ancient manuscripts that could date back to the XVII century.  I
would like to know what kind of textile fibers and techniques were
used in making these cloths.
