121 Osnaburg
This name was derived from the province of Osnaburg, Hanover, where the cloth was originally made from coarse flax yarns in a plain weave. It is now made from very coarse cotton yarns, such as 14's to 24's warp, and 6's to 8's weft, or coarser. Woven 28 to 40 ends and 32 to 36 picks per inch. Shipped to West Africa, the Canary Islands, and other ports. When stripes or checks are introduced the cloth sells well in the Southern States of America. The cloth is woven with very irregular yarns. The American makers use the following terms for these fabrics: - " 30-in. 7-oz. high count " which is 40 ends and 30 picks per inch, 6's warp, 6's weft; " 30-in. 7-oz. low count " which is 32 ends and 28 picks per inch, 6's warp, and 41/2's weft. Other standard qualities are: 40-in., 32 ends and 28 picks per inch, 11's warp, 11's weft, 31/2 yards per lb.; 36-in., 32 ends and 28 picks per inch, 11's warp, 11's weft, 3-90 yards per lb., all-cotton yarns.

Another variety is obtained from a wild goat and this hair is usually coloured (black or grey). The black is known as Shabri, and the grey as Shah-tush, this type, although genuine pashm, is not so; high in quality as the domestic type. Pashmina is the finest fibre among the wools and hairs, and is the wool used for the finest Cashmere shawls and other Kashmir products. ————————PASHMINA SUBSTITUTES, PASHMThe comparatively scarce Ibex, which yields a white or silver-grey hair, Changtain Pashmina (also called Kuhlchack or Ralchack).
