What is tammy cloth?

Tammy cloth is a hard-wearing fabric that has been in use since the Middle Ages. It is made of wool, cotton, or a combination of both, and is woven tightly to create a dense, durable fabric that is usually subjected to either a boiling or fulled finish. Tammy cloth is also known as tammy, tamis, and camlet, and it was once used to make clothing for royalty, such as robes, gowns, and cloaks. It has also been used in the production of upholstery, table linens, drapery, and even shoe lining. Tammy cloth comes in a variety of colors and patterns, and it is known for its smooth, lustrous surface, giving it a luxurious feel. It is still in use today and is prized for its durability, ability to resist wear and tear, and resistance to shrinking and fading.
