A short encyclopedia entry defining camblet (chamblet), a fabric made of wool, silk, or hair, especially goat or camel hair. It covers the true oriental camblet from Angora goat hair, the etymology from camelotum and camelinum, and the European centers of manufacture (Brussels, England, France, Holland, Flanders). It also describes figured, water, and waved camblets and the finishing processes of hot-pressing and calendering.
