Specialty Definitions: MELTON

Domain	Definitions
Industry	Heavy-weight fabric, all-wool, or with cotton warp and woollen weft, which is finished by heavy milling and cropping. The fibres in the cloth are tightly matted together by the milling process, and this gives the fabric a felted appearance. It is usually made in 2/2 twill, especially if all-wool, but it is sometimes made in other weaves to facilitate milling and the covering of the cotton warp. Source: European Union. (references)
	Slightly fulled cloth; the weave effect is diminished. Source: European Union. (references)
