- Montagnac Cloth
- MONTAGNAC CLOTHA curly woollen fabric with an astrakhan-like pile. It is very soft, warm and durable. It is produced in France and was first discovered in 1864. The inventor. Baron de Montagnac, discovered how to produce the material by accident - simply by soaking the cloth from the loom in water, then beating it with a heavy cane, he obtained the peculiar curly pile. The cloth is now manufactured on a large scale. Imitation Montagnac cloth is made 72-in. wide, 28 ends and 50 picks per inch, weight 29-02. per yard, from 13/4 run warp and weft. The weave is on 6 ends and 12 picks.
