A short encyclopedia entry defining mungo, a woollen cloth made from the reclaimed fibre of old, heavy woollen rags torn up by toothed cylindrical machines. It notes the cloth's warmth and fine finish, its weakness due to short fibre, and its uses for padding, linings, coats, druggets and blankets. It also mentions that broadcloth sometimes contains a large proportion of mungo.
