Glass Cloths

Glass Cloths
GLASS CLOTHS
Linen fabrics for kitchen use for which the flax fibre is best suitable because no lint remains on the glasses or dishes after drying. Generally woven without colour but some cloths have narrow stripings and others have the words " Glass Cloth " woven in the fabric. A standard cloth is made 52 ends and 60 picks per inch, 35's lea warp and weft. When colour is used a doubled cotton yam is found to be most suitable. The weaves may be plain, 2 & 2 twill, basket or small matt, or huckaback. The cotton imitations are woven from heavy yams such as 10's to 18's warp and weft and about 52 ends and 40 picks per inch.
