Bolting Cloth

Bolting Cloth
BOLTING CLOTH
A gauze weave fabric woven from silk yarns in the gum state and fine reed and pick. A very firm finish is given to the cloth. Used for fine sifting, stencils, dress trimmings, and wig foundations (also known as Millers Gauze). Originally made of woollen yams, then linen, and used for sifting flour after being ground. The term is derived from Bolter, a sieve (see Swiss Bolting Cloth)
