Waved CAMBLETS, are those wherein waves are impressed, as on tabbies; by means of a calender, under which they are passed and repassed several times.
The manufacturers, &c. of camblets are to take care they do not acquire any false and needless plaits; it being almost impossible to get them out again. This is notorious even to a proverb; we say a person is like camblet he has taken his plait.
