BLANKET

Volume 2 · 73 words · 1778 Edition

a coverlet for a bed. A stuff commonly made of white wool, and wrought in a loom like cloth; with this difference, that they are crossed like ferges.

When they come from the loom, they are sent to the fuller; and after they have been fulled and well cleaned, they are napped with a fuller's thistle.

There are blankets made with the hair of several animals; as that of dogs, goats, and others.
