Hi Beth,
Ahhhh... you've just saved me a bunch of headaches and time consumption. I am
stronger in French than I am in Italian! So the reference only occurs in text
outside of direct cloth manufacture, hmm. That's annoying.
Gar. This French book only shows up in a couple of libraries around here, all
of which charge for the ILL. hmm.. unless I convince a local to U of T to snag
it for me and make a copy. My husband is fully bilingual, I can bribe him to at
least look up the indexes for me and see if the references are any good.
Darn! And I was hoping to solve my issues with something easy!
Gee... I wonder if contacting a museum in Perpignan might prove fruitful? I
wonder if they have something like that. *goes googling*
Aha. I think I may have something. The village indeed does have museums (these
are the divisions most likely to have information useful to us):

I'll have to wait until hub is awake and in a mood to be coerced into helping
me to brew up a contact email. We can hope they know what we are talking about,
or at least something that helps clear up just what this stuff really is.
Onto a new adventure...

that Frick references regarding this but, while useful, it's focus is
on trade and economics and I could find no hint of the weave
structure. I also attempted to contact Dr. Frick (she teaches at a
University in Oklahoma.. the next state over) as to why she used the
term "jersey" to describe it but never received a reply.
The only other book that I have that mentions (in a textile context)
Perpignan is
Cardon, Dominique. La draperie au Moyen Age: essor d'une grande
industrie europe enne. Paris: CNRS Ed, 1999. ISBN: 227105592X OCLC: 50663845
As I am seriously weak in French, this is proving very slow going for me.
