Drugget

Drugget (Fr. droquet), a woven and felted coarse woollen fabric, usually with a printed pattern, chiefly used for covering carpets, and hence called in some parts of Great Britain crumb-cloth. It is generally too thin to take the place of a proper carpet, but it is sometimes so employed. The name is also given to a stout dress fabric made with a linen warp and a worsted weft. It is made into petticoats, workmen's aprons, &c.; sometimes only the weft, but often both warp and weft, being dyed. This stuff is still to a considerable extent made by handloom in Scotland.
