Worsted is
a high-quality type of wool yarn, the fabric made from this
yarn, and a yarn weight category. The name derives from Worstead,
a village in the English county of Norfolk. That village,
together with North Walsham and Aylsham, formed a manufacturing
centre for yarn and cloth in the 12th century, when
pasture enclosure and Liming rendered the East Anglian soil
too rich for the older agrarian sheep breeds. In the same period, many weavers
from Flanders moved to Norfolk. "Worsted"
yarns/fabrics are distinct from woollens (though both are made from
sheep's wool): the former is considered stronger, finer, smoother, and harder
than the latter.
Worsted was
made from the long-staple pasture wool from sheep breeds such
as Teeswaters, Old Leicester Longwool and Romney
Marsh. Pasture wool was not carded; instead it
was washed, gilled and combed (using heated long-tooth
metal combs), oiled and finally spun. When woven, worsteds were scoured but
not fulled.
Worsted wool fabric is
typically used in the making of tailored garments such as suits, as opposed
to woollen wool, which is used for knitted items such as sweaters
