Goes to show that everyone doesn't know everything. I've had the
hardest time getting the idea across to my mother that "percale" doesn't
mean just cotton, it's a weave. And I'm sure there are new sewers out
there who think that "linen" is only a weave/coarseness style, because
that's what's on the bolts.

eavesdropping on someone describe how accomplished she was with medieval
costuming to a clerk, and she needed a particular sort of frilly lace
fabric for one of these projects.
