14 Extracted Cloth
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 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) -
