It's Viyella. First made here in Derbyshire, named after a road known as the Via Gellia (with the old-fashioned English pronunciation of Latin) which was named for the Gell family who had it built in the 18th century.

When I was young it was still made of wool, but they may have changed to a cotton blend. It is very soft, but also a little expensive.
