Estamenes

ESTAMENES

A 2 & 2 twill worsted cloth, loosely woven from rough yarns. The cloth, when finished, has a fuzzy fibrous appearance, due to the " napping " of the fibres during the process of milling. Made to imitate the French cloth " estame," which is a knitted worsted. One weave is made with 56 ends and 56 picks per inch from 2/36's worsted warp and weft. A cheaper cloth is made 56 ends and 56 picks per inch of 2/36's warp, 20's weft, all worsted. The cloth is also known as Tammy.
