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 the County of 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
spinning was big industry in Bradford.
