I have an 1894 textile definition and wanted to know is this it classified as a particular weave or just a fabric.
Definition: Clay Worsted: A variety of flat-twilled worsted woven with a twill similar to that of serge, the diagonal lines lying flat on the surface and barely perceptible. On account of the warp and weft being slackly twisted the cloth does not take a gloss as in the case of the ordinary hard-twisted worsteds.
