RESILDA

A dress fabric made from single mohair yarns twisted with cotton yarn to give strength. After weaving into cloth the cotton is removed by carbonising. The structure is open when finished. ———————— See Permo.

A fabric produced by using a cotton thread with a wool thread and after weaving, the cotton is "extracted" or carbonised. The fabric is also known as " Mohlaine," " Permo " and " Resilda." The cloth is a type of lustrous worsted dress fabric in which a very soft twist warp is necessary in order to obtain the peculiar crepe effect desired. The wool warp, owing to the low twist, is too weak for weaving so the yam is twisted with a cotton thread which gives the requisite strength. The woven fabric is passed through a sulphuric acid solution which removes the cotton, leaving the wool yarns intact in the subsequent drying process (see Permo)
