AUTOMOBILE CLOAKING

Very heavy woollen double cloth, used in America for motor car coats, blankets and wraps. The fabric is simply two cloths in twill weaves, stitched together in the loom by a cotton warp. The face cloth may differ in colour from the back. Usually China wool is used as the large amount of kemp it contains, gives an appearance to the cloth not obtainable any other way. Woven about 30 ends, 34 picks per inch, 68-in. wide, weighing 34-oz. per yard. Warp yarns are coarse-grade wool, weft yarns usually coarse shoddy. The cotton binding warp is about 2 / 16's and only 2-to 3-ends per inch, so that the two cloths can be separated, if desired. Each cloth is 15 X 17 per inch.
