CLOTH, ETC. 577 



the former purpose. In 1658 black camlet costs ics. 6d. a 

 yard. It is generally supposed that camlet was manufactured 

 from the hair of the Angora goat, or mohair. But in 1648 

 and 1649 scarlet mohair is bought by Master at 6s. the yard, 

 and in 1649 black mohair by Bering (for Lady Bering's cloth- 

 ing) at 5-r. zd. Camlet is plainly a more expensive cloth than 

 mohair. 



A material called drugget is sometimes found. It must 

 have been a very different article from that which goes by the 

 name at present. It is $s. 6d. a yard in 1672, and 6s. in 1689 

 and 1690. In the last two cases it is bought by Lord Lovelace, 

 in the first by Master, and called Spanish. In 1654 the same 

 person buys 17 yards of gold drugget for a suit at izs. a yard. 

 This was it seems a French manufacture, in which the warp 

 contained gold or silver thread. 



There still remain other kinds of woollen cloth. In 1589 

 Lord Pembroke buys frysado at 9^. a yard, and in 1617 Shut- 

 tleworth fugarello at 4s. $d. In 1621 the same person buys 

 Murray shag at $s. In 1627 shag is 2s. $d. a yard. In 1627 

 also, crimson barracan is $s. In 1617 stamell is 17^. 6d. t in 

 1627, us. a yard. In 1650 nectorella is 4^. 6d., in 1658 stick 

 bombazene is $s. 2*/., in 1660 pondezon is 12^., in 1616 

 novato is 4s. t in 1649 crispiniano 5^. In 1650 rash is bought 

 for Lady Bering's gown at $s. 4^., in 1665 it is the name 

 given to the Winchester cloth. In 1608 I find rug at is. 8</., 

 in 1617 minikin at 2s. 6d. In 1673 calimanco is 3*. 6d. a 

 yard, in 1674, $s. %\d. In 1587 bustelin for a waistcoat is 

 is. 6d. a yard. In 1650 tammy is is. lod. and 2s. 6d. a yard, 

 the latter being called sea-green Turkey. In 1632 (vol. vi. 

 p. 636) tammy is by error treated as a kind of linen. In 1637, 

 a coarse stuff called broad tike ranny is bought for horsecloth 

 at 2s. i Id. 



I do not know whether farrenden or farrandine is a stuff 

 for men's or for women's garments. In one case, bought by a 

 young lady at Rockingham, who had an allowance for her 

 clothing, and kept an account of her expenditure, which is
