Broad (textile)

Originally it is cotton textiles, woolen stuff in the cloth which eyes made of the wool checkmated to be broad. The present broadcloth may be made of silk, cotton, polyester, but it is originally best the thing of 100% of wool. Because it is woven closely, I have high strength. The fame is poplin.

The broadcloth has been made in some areas of England in the Middle Ages. The raw materials are short fibers of the wool, and cotton yarn spun with a card machine is woven in a wide weaving machine in 1.75 yards (1.37 meters) of width and is done 縮絨 in the mil using the waterwheel. It becomes the felt by 縮絨, and the surface gets smooth. ^[1]

History of the production

Broadcloth was made in some areas of England in around 1500 in the Christian era. It is Essex and Suffolk of yeast Anglia, a spinning district (Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Somerset, other areas may be included), Worcester, Coventry in the southwestern English area, the area of curan Brooke et al. of Kent.

These were considered to be the English best quality, and I was exported to Antwerpen as "white cloth" (cloth of no dyeing) in large quantities by the merchant of the London merchant adventurer company (en:Company of Merchant Adventurers of London). They were dyed in Frandre and were mainly finally sold to northern Europe. Most were traded as a short thing (24 yards of = 22 meters) or a useless thing (30 yards of = 27 meters).

The raw materials of the broadcloth made in Worcester are called Leominster wool, and Herefordshire which there is near a border with Wales is from Shropshire. Or it was from コッツウォルズ. Both districts were the meadows which a condition relatively had bad and therefore (and probably there is the help of the selective breeding) were able to bring up a sheep suitable for wool collection.

The export of English broadcloth reached at the climax in the 16th century, and, in some districts, the cloth (mainly in the feel the thing with the characteristic) except the broadcloth came to be made, too. However, the decline began by a mistake of the Lord William coCane of the mid-1610s as an opportunity and followed the course of the drop in the 17th century.

Still Worcester kept the position of the production center of broad white goods. The broadcloth which I modelled on Worcester product began to be made in other areas, e.g., the various places throughout Ludlow and コッツウォルズ, and they came to be sold as "Worcester", too. Those markets declined partly because the business of the Levant company which had a factory in Turkey in the 18th century received the interference of the French competing company. Taking advantage of this, the importance of the broad production of the U.K. was lost. ^[2][3]
