Subject: Textile terminology
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.
