Re: [h-cost] historic cloth names, early 18th c
Ferret is a woven tape trim. Dow lace is probably dowlas, a coarse linen fabric. Can't help with Scot cloth, though.

I’d be curious if any list members have reflections on the names listed there and their definitions. There are a few terms near the end of the entry which the author, not a sewer, couldn’t identify: nor can I.

Heh, when you put 'spam' in the title, my gmail seems to automatically put it in the spam folder, as it did with this thread. That might even technically be irony!

Oops! Sorry about that. Good to know the filter does that - now I know not to use spam in a subject line!

We could just go with 'potted meat product.' :) Although I honestly have no clue what sets off the pottedmeatproduct filter sometimes, so who knows! -E House On Fri, Mar 6, 2015 at 2:35 PM, Emily Gilbert emchantm...@gmail.com wrote: Oops!

Re: [h-cost] historic cloth names, early 18th c
I'd bet that Scot cloth was a plaid, but it could be a linen, similar to Irish linen. I agree that ferret was a silk ribbon and/or a narrow woolen tape. Usually silk, though. Dow lace perplexes me, since dowlas was defined as A coarse kind of linen in 1797.
