A short dictionary entry defining fabric as cloth made by weaving or felting, noting that fabric names derive from material, texture, weave, color, finishing and place of manufacture. It opens with a verse quotation from Dyer's The Fleece (1757) and then gives an alphabetical list of several hundred fabric names, from Abee to Yergas. The entry is a list of names only, with no descriptions of the individual fabrics.
