Английская Википедия:Calamanco
Шаблон:Short description Calamanco (also calimanco, callimanco, or kalamink) is fabric with a glazed surface that was popular in Europe and the United States in the 18th and 19th centuries.[1] It was typically made of worsted-spun wool yarn, and the glazing was achieved by calendaring (pressing the cloth between hot rollers),[2] by surface-rubbing with a stone, or by applying wax to the surface.[1] The name comes from a Spanish term for worsted wool.[1]
Calamanco goes back to the late 16th century but was most popular in the 18th and 19th centuries.[2] It was made in a number of different weaves, including plain and satin weaves, damasks and brocades.[2] Early in the period, it was used in clothing,[2] but later on it was more commonly used for bed coverings, and surviving fragments are often found in quilts of the era, especially whole-cloth quilts.[1] The surface sheen of the calamanco sets off intricate quilting patterns.[1]
In popular culture
Calimanco has also been used as an alternative name for calico cats. It appears to have originated as a regional term in the English county of Norfolk.[3] Norwich in Norfolk was a center of calamanco manufacture.[4]
Calamanco is the name of a mare in Great Britain born around 1990; several of her offspring won races in the early 2000s.[5][6]
