1 Bundle
Handkerchief of linen. Same as Romals. ———————— Flax yam measure equal to 60,000 yards, weighing 10-lb. 200 cuts or 162/3 hanks make up this usual selling unit, yarns being quoted at so many shillings and pence per bundle. A Belgian paquet of linen yarn is equal to three Irish bundles, and a French paquet, to six. ———————— Hanks of yam made up into bundles for shipping by the use of a bundling press. -
2 Handkerchief
Handkerchief of linen. Same as Romals. ———————— This word is not met with earlier than the 16th century and was corrupted by the addition of " pocket " or " neck." It is called a " hand-cloth " in the dialect of Lincolnshire, and is probably identical with the " swat-cloth " of the Anglo-Saxons. We thus trace this pocket companion to its primitive state of a cloth or towel to wipe the face or hands with. It has variously been ornamented with fringes of gold, red and white silk and silver, and richly embroidered and trimmed with gold lace. Handkerchiefs were fashionable in the reign of Elizabeth. ———————— DRAPERY - Drapery made by tacking one corner of square pieces of material to a foundation skirt. These squares may be large or small, and if they are of soft material they fall into graceful lines. -
