Thank you for all of your suggestions and offers of help!
No I've not looked at the Italian sources and the definitions of it as a
filled ticking are what I had found, or incomplete quotes that now that
I've seen the complete ones, refer to the ticking...
And a lot of early century studies did not distinguish between hemp and
linen...
Alternate spellings are wonderful!
Please keep the suggestions coming as you have time.
I'll keep digging and if I find anything new, will report here.
Again THANKS!
Ta
Carol
