Английская Википедия:Falding
Шаблон:Short description Falding was a rough-napped cloth or frieze that was made in Ireland during the 14th century. It was a colored woolen cloth, variably made with pile or cut pile.[1] There is conflicting information about falding's texture. Some sources describe it as a soft cloth, while others describe it as coarse.[1][2][3][4]
Coarse wool was used to produce Falding.[5] It is probable that falding was also made in Northern Europe, and identical to the woollen wraps referred to as "faldones" by Hermoldus.[3]
Use
Falding was comparable to the rough red woolen fabric used for petticoats and jackets by Irish peasants.[6]
Mentions
Geoffrey Chaucer mentioned falding in the prologue to The Canterbury Tales, describing the Shipman as wearing a falding gown.[7]
