Andy, What a great link. I've done a bit of web surfing but have never seen
- or possibly never noticed & opened - this site. I'll have a few hours of
fun here!!

I have an 1894 textile definition and wanted to know is this it classified
as a particular weave or just a fabric.
I'm not sure what this question means.
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.
Let's pick this apart.
"Flat-twilled" is the weave. Fiber content would most likely be wool.
"Slackly worsted" describes the preparation and spinning technique used to
make the threads/yarns.
Therefore, there is a specific weave associated with clay worsted, but clay
worsted is a type of fabric. A bit more searching found the following
reference to clay worsted:
1923 "Woolen Materials and Tailored Plackets" Woman's Institute of Domestic
Arts & Sciences, by Mary Brooks Picken
<http://vintagesewing.info/1920s/23-wmtp/wmtp-01.html#table>
"Clay Worsted: Soft twilled fabric similar to serge. Used for dresses and
suits."
