Domestics

Domestics
DOMESTICS
The home trade uses this term to denote grey cloths for domestic purposes, which are either plain or twill weave, generally pure sized. Widths are 30-in. to 36-in., and qualities are many. Shipping domestics are much inferior in quality to the home trade cloths, and are as a rule heavily sized. Widths are 30-in. to 36-in., 54 to 64 reed, 70 to 72 picks, 24's warp and 36's weft, or somewhere near these yarns. Heavy domestics are made from coarse yarns, such as 10's to 14's warp and weft, and about 48 ends and 52 picks.
