We were wrapping up our I Love To Read event with the Grade 3 – 6 students. One of the young students raised his hand, eager to ask one more question. His eyes lit up when I noticed him, approached with a few steps to ensure I would hear his query, and invited him to ask his question.
"How many Dancing Gabe books are there in the whole wide world?" he said.
I returned to the microphone and repeated the young man's question to ensure everyone else assembled in the school's gym would hear it. A gentle hush had fallen on the students who were even more attentive than they had been during the previous forty-five minutes.
"Well," I said, "that is a very good question. There are more than four thousand Dancing Gabe books in the whole world today." My answer, much to my surprise, was greeted with a collection of cheers, screams, and applause from all those assembled. They liked my answer.
I looked over to Gabe. He too was clapping and beaming, pleased with the answer, pleased with the joy he could see in the eyes of the students. He was the reason for this happiness.

High Achiever May Lose it at Dishwasher
by crazyauntdelilah
I'm going crazy at home. I run an errand, need a nap. Fold the laundry, need a nap. Bring in the groceries, need a nap.
Being a type A, high achiever is an awfully depressing place to be when a trip to buy shampoo is the highlight of the day. Feels helpless and so non-productive. I really am the high achiever who may lose it at the dishwasher.
Everyone says, "enjoy the rest", "your body needs the time to heal", "take the time for you", "meditate"…seriously, do you people know me? It's truly as if my brain says one thing, and my body can't keep up. Or worse, my brain wants it to come together, and my body can't keep up. It's frustrating. I feel generally fine most of the time and my usual flaky self, just exhausted. Surely, some smart marketing can come from fatigue, right? (and yes, a marketer trick is to add "right" to the end of the sentence. How can they disagree?)
I am the oldest of three and will still end up with the least education at a master's level. Yeah, we were all pretty much screwed to be high achieving adults. And yes, we should own stock in sticky notes and list making.
My grandparents met in a one room school-house and both had college degrees. My parents have second degrees and both of my brothers will each have third (PhD and Law). I worry for my daughter and niece, even as much as I say "you can do whatever you want", there was still that moment in kindergarten when my than five-year old said, "I want to do nails and hair but don't tell mama". Oh dear, what have we done? Healthcare cost the US more than they spent on the Department of Defense last year, and education is outrageous! MBA's are a dime a dozen, and employment is still scarce. The brick and mortar, mom and pop, five and dime opportunity has been altered forever, and my generation has enabled this high achieving, fast-moving, preservative-filled, intrusive, technological world. (Not to mention what I alone did to contribute to global warming with excessive amounts of aerosol hairspray to manage my 80's hard rock bangs.) It's a train far out of the gate.
Are we all type A, high achieving personalities, or have I lost touch with those who are not? Someone asked me today if a farmer in Wyoming feels the stress or requires the Rx this generation does. Is it cyclical, have we enabled our own fate, success, loss, excess? And who can possibly judge and change, but each of our own reactions to these life transitions? I am told it isn't "life- work balance" anymore but "life-work integration". We did this to ourselves.
My girlfriend just emailed me that I can certainly lose it at the dishwasher, but the dishwasher cannot explain the meaning of life. That is for each of us to find on our own path through acceptance, moments of silence, prayer, nuggets of wisdom and movement forward.
While I figure that out, I believe I will take a short nap.

Coming from a family of nine siblings in total, you would think that my decision to want to have children would come from a place filled with family events, big Christmas dinners, and stories that could be passed down to my children, and the next generation thereafter of how my childhood shaped out to be and the antics that we would all get into.
But this is a life that I do not envision for myself.
I can vaguely recall a time where I ever wanted a child. I rarely had baby dolls growing up to carry around to look after and when I did, I would always give them away or lose them in a tragic accident. Now I would not describe that as great parenting skills but every little girl first introduction to babies back then came from play toys.
When I was nine years old that is when I decided for sure that I did not want to bring life into this world. Even at that age, I understood the importance of financial stability and the hardships that come from not having a pot to piss it. Watching my mother struggle to provide for us all while taking turns to look after one another felt more like a burden to me than a blessing. Although my mom did and continues to do a great job raising my younger siblings, I know there is a lot of things in life that she missed out on because of us.
Why Don't 20-something's Want Children?
With the new reveal of Cardi B's pregnancy, the rumor mills rolling of SZA expecting also, and a cluster of my girlfriends going in for their first prenatal appointment, it is inevitable that we are now at the age of creating our own families and setting parental blueprints that work for us.
I have yet to meet a woman around my age who also does not want kids, but I know that we do exists. Many people see women who do not want children as mean, heartless, or without a womb, but in all actuality, we just want our freedom and the ability to choose to say no without feeling the backlash of our parents' smart, childless remarks.
No shade towards the girls who are venturing on and bringing forth life, someone must make this world a better place, it just won't be me.
When asked, a few reasons why millennial women do not want children are:
- Our careers come first
- Not wanting to settle (in life, relationships, finances)
- Having too many life options
- Living situations (staying with parents)
- Aware of the direction in which the world is going (Trump)
- Debt
- Selfishness
What Do You Want Instead?
"So, if you don't want children Amirah then what do you want?"
I want to watch my nieces and nephews grow up into productive citizens while encouraging them and pouring all my auntie wisdom into their souls. I want to go to my sister's house for thanksgiving fifteen years from now bearing presents from my latest trip and still screaming "ain't nobody got time for that" when asked an unrelated question to warrant that response.
I want to continue to have amazing sex while protecting my uterus from implantation. I want to be in a loving marriage with someone who understands that I will always put my needs first, without judgment or resentment but I will love him still imperfections and all, but that our future will not include children, maybe a dog though (maybe).
I want a supportive friend base of women who uplift me and inspire me to become the best version of myself through love and constructive criticism. I want a career that will allow me to be a boss, while also traveling the world and experiencing new ways of living, thinking, and being.
I want a life filled with an abundance of feel-good songs that wake me out of the bed in the mornings. Food that fills my spirit and an energy that will overshadow the fact that I and women like me decided that children do not define our womanhood. We are not without love because we do not share that common thread with mothers. We are still women. We are still loved.
This is what I want instead.
What are your views on women who do not want children?

New Duck Stamp Envelope Sold For Gulf Conservation
The Interior Department is selling a new duck stamp envelope to raise money for conservation in the aftermath of the Gulf oil spill according to the Associated Press.
The new duck stamp envelopes were unveiled Tuesday. They feature a silk rendering of a photograph of St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge on the Gulf Coast of Florida, as well as the 2010-2011 federal duck stamp.
They sell for $25 $10 more than a duck stamp alone. The extra $10 will be used to buy land for national wildlife refuges on the Gulf Coast.
All migratory bird hunters must buy a duck stamp along with state licenses and permits.
This year's stamp shows an American wigeon painted by artist Robert Bealle of Waldorf, Md.

| 5.7°C Dublin
Some of Europe's elite national sides are starting to get ready for Euro 2016 but for the Netherlands there can be no talk of tickets, bases, warm-up games and the rest.
The country who reached the World Cup final in 2010 are looking very unlikely to be in France next summer after two dispiriting defeats left them struggling to even finish third in Group A.
This 24-team format should be a safety net for the established names but the Dutch are managing to fall through it. They are fourth in their group, two points behind third-placed Turkey, with two games left, needing a dramatic turnaround in the remaining fixtures for them to make the play-offs in November.
It is some fall given their history, not just the Netherlands' glorious past but even from last year.
Fifteen months ago Louis van Gaal's side produced one of the great World Cup displays, shredding holders Spain 5-1 in Salvador, scraping through to the semi-finals and ending up one penalty shootout away from reaching their second successive final.
So what on earth has happened to one of the best teams in Europe?
The collapse has been shockingly swift. Guus Hiddink replaced Van Gaal after the World Cup - a flawed decision in itself - and the team lost their first game to the Czech Republic in Prague, and their third game to Iceland in Reykjavik.
After a home draw with Turkey, Hiddink was mortally wounded, stumbling on into the summer when he was quit and was replaced by his assistant, Danny Blind.
Any margin for error was gone by then and Blind needed two wins this month.
What he got, though, was a 1-0 home defeat to Iceland on Thursday before a 3-0 surrender in Turkey, which prompted some serious self-examination.
Sportwereld ran the front page 'Not good enough for the Euros', while Algemeen Dagblad bluntly told the nation: "We don't count any more".
The reason for this disaster is simple engineering: there is nothing holding the Dutch team together.
They have the golden veterans born around 1983 - Robin van Persie, Wesley Sneijder, Arjen Robben - and a new generation of players born in the 1990s. But the players who should now be leading the team, filling the space between young and old, are nowhere to be seen. That is certainly a gap that needs bridging.
One famous senior player has been known to goad the youngsters by telling them he earns in one month what they do in a year.
When defender Bruno Martins Indi was sent off against Iceland last Thursday, Robben (his captain) did not defend him, saying that it was "very stupid" and that he had "let his team-mates down".
Why, then, is there this hole in the team and not a single experienced outfield player in their prime?
The Dutch won the European U-21 Championship in 2007, but the stars of that team - Royston Drenthe, Ryan Babel, Maceo Rigters - are nowhere to be seen. It is a lack of long-term planning which goes back more than five years from now.
"There is an age gap between 24 and 28, roughly, the middle generation is missing," explained Raymond Verheijen, part of Frank Rijkaard's and Van Gaal's backroom staffs with the Dutch team.
"That has to do with the fact that Bert van Marwijk (coach at World Cup 2010 and Euro 2012) played the older players for too long. He is a very conservative coach, always playing with the same XI, and did not introduce the new generation."
When Van Gaal replaced Van Marwijk in 2012, he did not have many bedded-in youngsters and had to build a new team himself with the new generation of 18-22-year-olds. They were the perfect raw material for a coach like him.
"Van Gaal is a very strict 'teacher', rather than a flexible 'manager'," explained Verheijen. "This was difficult for the older players, but the younger players loved it.
"They played the World Cup semi-final with four, then five players from the Dutch league. Nobody was expecting Holland to reach the second round, but Van Gaal was very successful."
The problem was that the KNVB was not anticipating success in Brazil and appointed Hiddink - Van Gaal's philosophical opposite - to replace him.
"People expected that everybody would be fed up with the 'teacher', 'drill sergeant' Van Gaal," Verheijen said, "and the 'people manager' Hiddink would bring freedom and fresh air, save the nation and give us hope again."
But the youngsters - Danny Blind, Stefan de Vrij, Daryl Janmaat, Jordy Clasie and the rest - liked Van Gaal's educational style and when it was removed, the team disintegrated.
"From the first game, there were signals that after the very strict and clear 'teacher', the players did not know what to do," Verheijen said.
"They did not know what to expect, or what was expected from them, there was confusion. The transition from the ultimate 'teacher' Van Gaal, to the ultimate 'manager' Hiddink was too big, too drastic. In hindsight, Hiddink was not the ideal manager."
Of the Netherlands' great golden trio, only Robben is still playing at the top level, and he has been injured for much of this qualification campaign.
With their youngsters now struggling without the coach who taught them so much, and a generation lost in the gap, they will require some re-direction.

You know those seriously adorable commercials for Excel gum with the little onion, garlic, coffee and donut? You know, these ones? I've been obsessed with these commercials since they came out - the little mascots are SO cute! My boyfriend suggested I do some nail art of them and I thought it was a great idea!
Although this is definitely the straw that broke the toothpick's back - meaning this mani made me realize I need to get some detail brushes for nail art, because these were kind of a pain to paint using only the nail polish brushes from the bottle and toothpicks! But I'm very happy how they turned out nonetheless! Hope you like too!

Hey guys,
So I'm back… This blog reaches you a bit sooner than I had anticipated, but lots of stuff has been happening so I was inspired to put finger tips to touch screen!! So pull up a chair guys, this one is a long but meaningful one….
My blogs are always written about experiences, but never just one.. They are always written about a combination of experiences that mean I feel I am able to form an opinion, because that's how I work. I never form or voice my opinions about a person or subject without being well informed. And being well informed means seeing it from every side, then hopefully my opinion is balanced and I won't make an arse of myself when voicing it. Because let's face it, there is nothing worse than shouting your mouth off only to look a fool because you don't have your ducks in a row..
I have had a few odd experiences recently with people and their behaviour – but I have never openly voiced an opinion because they or that situation is something I don't care about….. Because that's how I work, if I care about someone or a situation I will call it out for what I believe it is and call the person out for what I believe they are. I will own my opinions or if someone/something really mattered I'd do it FACE TO FACE. But if I do neither, odds are I don't care for you, your opinions or about the situation. Simple as that. Please note this, not everything written by everyone is aimed at you…….
This brings me on to the fact I have found myself in an interesting place recently – an unhappy place.
It's odd, because I've been unhappy for probably like 3/4 months and I'd honestly struggle to tell you why! I think part of it is because I feel like I haven't been riding that well, I've actually really struggled with my shoulder injury and I've lost a really good friend this spring for no reason..
But I haven't felt at any point like I've needed to shout about it because these are all my own issues, that only I can sort, also I am very happy being unhappy – because this feeling is my own doing. No one else is making me feel this way and sometimes you just have to work it out by yourself, god knows I'm a talker!! But these feelings are for me to sort and for me to sort alone….
When I left for Ballindenisk last week I was a little apprehensive of how I was going to feel. Was I going to be jealous of all the people with strings of horses, was I going to feel envious of all the amazing riders riding better than me or all the riders being happier than me…………… Basically was this trip going to make me feel even more lost…
But you know what, it really opened my eyes.
It really opened my eyes to the fact that's it's ok to not be the best rider, as long as you don't pretend to be. It's ok to not be the happiest person there, as long as you don't pretend to be. And it's ok to not be over the moon with the fact things aren't going to plan, as long as you don't pretend they are. Because when you start pretending things are better, shiner and more amazing than they clearly are you then have to justify to the world when a blind man can see they aren't.
I justify myself to no one, ever. And you know why….. Because I don't make myself out to be anything I'm not. If I'm not happy I don't pretend I am – because I don't need to. If I ride badly I don't pretend I didn't – because I don't need to. If things don't go to plan, I don't pretend they did – because I don't need to.
Because it is ok to not be happy, to not be the best or that things aren't going totally to plan. Sometimes it's no one else's fault but your own. So how's about we own are own failings and mistakes? How's about we see that not being the happiest, the best or the most successful isn't the end of the world and who cares if you aren't? As long as you are happy not being happier, better or successful then don't justify to others… Just justify to yourself, then if you wish to try to be happier, improve or be more successful, do – but only if you want. Not to prove something to others, especially others that actually don't care.
Because to be frank what I've learnt this last week is that those that shout the loudest are doing so because they want the people to hear that aren't listening.
Care enough about yourself to not care about the things you shouldn't care about, not everything is about you and that's not a bad thing. Because when you make everything about you, you have to take the criticism along with the praise and to do that you have to have true backbone and grit………..
How much class you show when things get tough say more about you than how high that pedestal you built for yourself does.
I'm off to work damn hard over the winter to improve what I need to improve on to be happier, better and more successful next season. But that's for me, not for anyone else…
Say classy guys, until next time – over and out…..

I am a cynolog over many years and I have been breeding Akitas for 10 years under the kennel name "Samurai Yashiki". I have always loved large dogs and I am somewhat averse than smaller breeds because of their excessive nervousness. 3 years ago, when visiting Silvia Exposito,one of the great Akita and Shiba kennel, for the first time I had the opportunity to learn more about Shibas'. I liked them at first glance. They were all that small dog sare not. Poised, calm and full of dignity. Shibaisa big dog trapped in a small body. That's why I decided to start to breed this wonderful breed and try to bring people closer to a great little dog.
Kennel "Samurai Yashiki" is here for you and if you have any questions about these two wonderful breeds, please contact us.

Blac Chyna Tweets Rob Kardashian's Phone Number
Just days after Rob Kardashian shared sister Kylie Jenner's cell phone number with the world, his fiancee, Blac Chyna, has done the same to him.
The 28-year-old model then took to Snapchat to explain why she chose to tweet that out, saying "To assure your man is not texting no bitches, just tweet his number out. How's that feel Rob? How ya feel?...Get your number changed, thank you."
"Feels good," her fiancé said with a smile while standing behind her.
She continued, "To all these females wanna keep texting his phone 'cause they had his number before, talking about 'you good? You and Chyna good?' Naw, we good. We good. We straight. All right."

Proposition 422: Improving Housing Affordability (previously known as Attainable Housing Bond) is a $25M bond that will be spread out over 20 years in which a Committee, made up non-profits, realtors, developers, and other interested parties will make recommendations to Council in a public forum on how to spend the bond towards the goal of more attainable housing. Council will have final authority on how/whether bond is spent for particular recommended projects.
The actual language of Proposition 422 is written broadly in order to have flexibility over the 20 year period (what we need today may not be what we need in 2035). The goals of Proposition 422 are to offer more attainable housing largely by 1. providing developers more incentives to create below-market affordable housing, 2. revolving loans that will be down payment assistance for home buyers. These types of programs have a proven track record of success through the years; they have just been sorely underfunded in Flagstaff.
The bond is expected to provide about 1,000 additional affordable homes (ECONA determined our need to be 3,000 houses). It will also have the advantage of helping out middle-class people with homebuyer assistance, who otherwise cannot receive federal or state funds. By moving these long-term renters into home ownership, it will also help affordability by increasing the housing stock for rentals.
Proposition 422 will offer other forms of assistance as time goes on, depending on what the city needs are at the time. Proposition 422 must be listed as a tax increase, although taxpayers won't see an increase in their property tax bills. The bond money will become available as other city bonds are paid off, and Council is committed to keeping property taxes at the same rate. If Proposition 422 doesn't pass, the bond money would likely be spent for other city services.
We also acknowledge that Proposition 422 will need a group of dedicated and knowledgeable citizens to serve on the Committee making recommendations to Council. It is F3's hope that there will consistently be representatives from our non-profit community on this Committee, including but not limited to Housing Solutions, TCLT, and Habitat for Humanity, that will keep the community's best interests in mind in the goals of creating more attainable housing. F3 intends to collaborate with our local non-profits to ensure that these community goals of more attainable housing are best being met through this bond, and to keep our members informed of how the bond money is being utilized. We may occasionally ask our members to communicate with the Committee or Council if the goals of more attainable housing are not best being met through Proposition 422.
Despite these concerns, F3 still thinks that Proposition 422 is a bold move towards more attainable housing and will increase the quality of life for all Flagstaff residents. The revolving door of talented people leaving Flagstaff because of a lack of affordable housing is costing us in many ways. It is affecting the healthcare we receive with a 33% turnover rate of nurses at our hospitals; it is affecting the education of our future voters; it is affecting the city's bottom line as we continue to train employees who quickly decide to leave for more affordable pastures. Our city needs a vibrant and diverse working community in order to preserve the character that brought so many of us to Flagstaff and continue to call this place home. We at F3 hope that you will support Proposition 422 at the ballot box this November.

Hoards Earliest Metal Talk
Rarely does a year go by without a new headline-making discovery of a Bronze Age hoard. From fewer than ten cases in 1997 to around 60 today. But how have these discoveries contributed to our knowledge of people and community during the first age of metal? This talk explores some of the most important and interesting Bronze Age hoards found in recent years. It will set them in their wider context and ask searching questions about how new discoveries are contributing to the big stories that we can tell.

Fall is in the Air
It's finally starting to feel like fall around here, and I'm thrilled.
I have been all about the knitting lately after few years of reduced mojo. That's partially because of the changing seasons, but also because I've found a whole new knitting community through podcasts and videocasts. It used to be that my blog reader was full of inspirational knitting, but it seems like a lot of those bloggers aren't posting anymore. My dear friend K, who I get to see in person this weekend, was nice enough to send me a list of her favorite podcasts, and I'm hooked!
I've also rediscovered the Harry Potter Knitting and Crochet House Cup, and I'm playing along for my first time as a not-quite-first-year. It's so much fun to gamify knitting and be part of another enthusiastic community of makers. I don't typically make little projects, but I was inspired to make the pumpkin spice coffee cozy you see above and turn it in for a September class.
Speaking of coffee cozies, I wanted to thank you for knitting up my Twisted Coffee Cozy pattern over the years. I get lots of hits on that post, so I know people are checking it out, which feels good even though I have no higher design aspirations at this point. October promises to be an exciting knitting month. Just this afternoon, I cast on for a Mama Vertebrae for my friend J. I don't typically knit full sweaters for friends, but I'm making a special exception here because J is a close friend, she's expecting her first baby, and, get this, she has never had anything handmade. I have to fix this. She braved the LYS with me yesterday and picked out some Berroco Vintage in a lovely shade of red that will look great on her and mix well with her maternity wardrobe.
If there's a baby on the way, you'd better believe I'm going to knit for it! We're throwing J a baby shower at the end of the month, and I'd like to do a small layette with a cardigan, hat or bonnet, and booties. I haven't chosen any of those patterns yet, and I'm hoping to pick out yarn this weekend at my former LYS, so suggestions are very much welcome!

Chapel Window 2
Left: In memory of Jeremiah Peck, first settled Pastor of the Church, given by Herbert H. Ferris
Right: In memory of Jeffrey Ferris, Colonist, given by the Ferrises
Left lancet
The building, shown top left, is the meetinghouse built in 1694. "A church ought to be set like a biblical city on a hill," said the church fathers, so a church building was laid out on the rise of ground overlooking the valley at the intersection, which is now Lockwood Avenue and Tomac Avenue.
Jeremiah Peck (1623 – 1699), shown center left, was the Pastor of the our church from 1678 to 1689. The Half-Way Covenant Dispute led to the resignation of Mr. Peck. The difference of opinion concerned infant baptism, as seen in the bottom left window. This covenant was passed by the General Assembly in 1669 and was a compromise which allowed the baptism of children of baptized parents who had never fully united with the church. Mr. Peck felt this was a relaxing of standards with an inferior class of church membership and refused to accept this compromise. Consequently, he was unacceptable to seven or more Quaker families who lived in Greenwich and refused to pay their share of the minister's salary. He was given 40 acres of land, but he felt discredited and left for Waterbury, where he was the first minister.
Right lancet
The Reverend Doctor Abraham Pierson (1641 – 1707), another early pastor of our church (from 1691 – 1694), later became the first rector of Yale College. He is shown at the top of the right window. The seal which is at the top of this window is that of Yale University.
Jeffrey Ferris (1610 – 1666) was a builder and one of the first seven proprietors of the Town of Greenwich. He's in the center of the right window. He named our town Greenwich. It is not known where he is buried.
At the bottom of this right window is shown Tomac Cemetery, the earliest burying ground in town which is still in existence. It is now called the Tomac Historic Burying Ground. The earliest recorded burial there is dated 1718.

Our daily operating expenses are approximately $420. This includes all our monthly bills – rent, utilities, salaries, program expenses, office supplies, etc. Our Angel of the Day program allows our ministry partners the opportunity to sponsor a day and to know that our doors were open to assist men, women, and children in need because of their commitment to life.
There are 365 days in a year and we currently have 34 Angels. Ideally, of course, we would not only like to have an Angel for everyday, we need to have an Angel for everyday. Realizing that it may be difficult to make a one time donation of $420, we offer a monthly donation option of $35 for 12 months. We have people sign-up to be Angels for many different reasons ~ in honor of a loved one that has passed away, to celebrate the birth of a baby, or for the intentions of their family. One of our Anonymous Angels chose December 12 in memory of all babies lost to abortion. Harry and Pauline Coveny are Angels for the First Saturday in January in honor of the intentions of our Blessed Mother. Our hope is that our Angel of the Day program will give you a stronger sense of walking side by side with the clients, volunteers, and staff ~ that you feel like a partner.
The need for this type of ongoing support is imperative and allows us to budget for the needs of the clinic. A typical day in our office may consist of 20 parents coming in for material goods such as baby clothes, diapers, blankets, maternity clothes, bottles, etc., five pregnancy tests and two ultrasounds. We supplement families in need with an average of 4000 diapers a month. It costs approximately $50 for our nurse to do one pregnancy test and $150 for each ultrasound.
A great Christmas gift idea for the hard-to-shop for Angels in your life!
A husband could give this in honor of his wife because she is an amazing Christian woman. A wife could give this in honor of her husband because he is a Godly man. A son or daughter could give this to a parent as a thank you for choosing life. Grandchildren could come together and celebrate the legacy of their grandparents by sponsoring their anniversary.
We will provide a beautiful ceramic angel Christmas ornament and a personalized Christmas card to announce your gift. If you want to give a gift that will truly keep on giving, please call Kathy at 425-329-4569 or email firstname.lastname@example.com with the name of your loved one and the date you would like to sponsor on their behalf.
Please consider supporting Angelorum/Next Step Pregnancy Services in this fashion. You can sign up to be an Angel on our web site through the "Support" tab or by calling our office at 425-329-4569.

=Albatross.= A dress fabric of worsted warp and worsted filling; of
open texture and fancy weaves.
=Alpaca.= A thin fabric of close texture made from the fibers of an
animal of the llama species; mixed with silk or with cotton. It is

=Corded Alpaca.= Corded weave, lengthwise of the piece, cotton warp
alpaca filling; one of the first products of the American loom.
=Angora.= The fiber of this goat is commercially known as mohair. The
skins are largely used in the making of children's muffs, for the
scalps of dolls, and for trimming coats and capes. Carriage robes also
claim a good share of the skins; the hair, being nearly one foot in
length, makes them beautiful and serviceable. The fiber enters largely
into that class of goods known as Astrakhan, Crepons, Plushes,
Brilliantines, Zibelines, fine Cashmeres, and many other fabrics
usually sold as all wool or worsted, according to the mode of
preparing the stock before spinning into yarn. It is found in the
finest of silk and worsted fabrics for ladies' wear, also in linings,
mittens, and fine cloaking and overcoating. It is noted especially for
its water repelling qualities, its beauty, and high luster; and not so
much for its warmth-retaining properties, for which wool stands
=Astrakhan.= A fabric manufactured from Astrakhan fiber; of a curly,
wavy surface applied to a curly faced cloth resembling Astrakhan
=Bandanna.= From the Indian bandanna, to bind or tie. In dyeing, the
cloth is tied in knots when dipped, and thus has a clouded effect.
=Beaver.= A heavy cloth manufactured of fine wool, with a finish on
the surface to resemble the fur of the animal by that name.
=Fur Beaver.= Similar in many respects to Beaver, but having on its
surface a long, dense nap, in imitation of the fur of the Beaver. Used
for overcoats, cloaks, and capes.
=Bedford Cord.= A fine woolen fabric, with fine recesses running with
the piece, and extensively used for ladies' dress goods. An all wool
cloth of close texture for gentlemen's clothing. The recesses may also
be made with fine cotton yarn hidden in the wool filling.
=Beige.= Cloth of undyed or natural wool. The name is the French word
for "natural."
=Bindings.= A species of narrow fabric of silk, worsted or cotton, for
binding the edges of garments, the bottom of dress skirts, etc.
=Bombazine.= A twilled fabric of which the warp is silk and the
filling is worsted.
=Bottany.= A term applied to worsted yarns made from bottany wool. It
is considered the finest of all worsted yarns, and is used for fine
fabrics of close texture.
=Boucle.= Curled hair or wool woven in any cloth in such a way as to
show the curl makes boucle. The word is French for curl.
=Broadcloth.= Broadcloth is a soft, closely woven material with a
satin finish. The best qualities are called satin broadcloth.
The origin of broadcloth dates back to early times, the first
historical mention of it being made in 1641. In America, among the
first products manufactured by the colonial woolen mills were black
and colored broadcloths, and these (with satinets) formed the
distinctive character of American woolen fabrics at that time. They
were honestly made of pure, fine-fibered Saxony wool, and sold as high
as $6.50 per yard.
The warp and filling are made of carded wool so that the web (cloth)
will shrink or full evenly. The stock is generally dyed in the raw
state when used for men's wear. When taken from the loom it does not
have the smooth, lustrous appearance which is its distinctive feature.
It is rough and dull colored, with the threads showing plainly. To
improve its appearance it is first subjected to the action of the
fulling mill, with the result that the fibers of the warp and weft
become entangled to such an extent that the cloth never unravels. Then
the cloth is slightly napped and sheared down close, in order to
produce a smooth, even surface. Next it is successively wetted,
steamed, calendered, and hot pressed for the purpose of bringing out
the luster. It is commonly twill woven, but is sometimes plain,
finished with a slightly napped and lustrous face. It must have a
bright, beaver finish, and be close and felty in the weave.
The broadcloth used for women's clothing is of a lighter weight and is
generally piece dyed. It is used for ladies' suits, coats, and
gentlemen's evening dress suits, frock coats, and tuxedos. It is
expensive; prices range from $1.75 to $3.50 per yard in ladies'
broadcloth, and higher for men. The price depends on the quality of
wool used, and uniformity of the nap and perfection of the finish.
=Bunting.= A plain even thread weave of mohair, wool, or worsted, used
mostly for making flags. The name is from German, bunt, meaning
variegated or gay colored.
=Caniche.= A name given to curled wool fabric showing the effect of
the coat of the caniche, a French dog.
=Cashmere.= A cloth made from the hair of the Cashmere goat. The face
of the fabric is twilled, the twills being uneven and irregular
because of the unevenness of the yarn. Cashmere yarn was first hand
spun. The goats are grown for their wool in the vale of Cashmere in
the Himalaya Mountains.
=All Wool Cashmere.= As no material by this name exists there can be
no definition. When the term is used in defining a fabric, it is a
delusion and a snare.
=Cashmere Double.= A cloth having Cashmere twill on one side or face
and poplin cord on the reverse.
=Cassimere.= The name is a variation of Cashmere. Cassimere, when
properly made, is of Cashmere wool. Usually a twill weave.
=Castor.= Same as beaver, of a light weight.
=Challis.= (Also spelled challie.) A name given to a superior dress
fabric of silk and wool first manufactured at Norwich, England, in
1832. In texture the original material was soft, thin, fine, and
finished without gloss. When first introduced it ranked among the best
and most elegant silk and wool textures manufactured. It was composed
of fine materials, and instead of giving it a glossy surface, such as
is usually produced from silk and fine wool, the object was to make it
without luster. The name is now applied to an extremely light weight
summer dress fabric, composed of either cotton or wool, or a mixture
of these fabrics. In structure it is both plain woven and figured, the
ornamental patterns being produced either in the loom or yarn, dyed or
printed. It is not sized. All wool challis does not differ essentially
from the old-fashioned muslin delaine. Most challis patterns are
copied from the French silks, and this accounts in part for their
tasteful designs and artistic effects. French challis is a material
similar to the above, though usually characterized by a more glossy
=Cheviot.= A descriptive term of somewhat loose application, being
used indiscriminately of late years to denote almost any sort of stout
woolen cloth finished with a rough and shaggy surface. Originally the
fabric known as cheviot was woven in England, from the strong, coarse
wool of the Cheviot sheep, whence the name.
It is at present a worsted or woolen fabric made of cheviot or "pulled
wool," slightly felted, with a short even nap on the surface and a
supple feel. Worsted cheviots, in plain colorings or of fancy effects,
are manufactured from combed yarn. Woolen cheviots are made from
carded yarn. The greater portion of this class of goods in carded
yarns contains little or no new wool in its make-up. Shoddy, mungo,
and a liberal mixture of cotton to hold it together, blended in the
many colorings, help to cover the deception. Prices range from 50
cents to $3.00. The material is plain or twill woven, and has many of
the qualities of serge.
The distinguishing feature of cheviot, whatever the grade of cloth, is
the finish, of which there are two kinds. One is known as the "rough"
finish, and the other as the "close" finish. Real cheviot is a
rough-finished fabric, composed of a strong, coarse wool and fulled to
a considerable degree. The process of finishing cheviot is simple, and
practically the same methods are followed for both the "rough" and the
"close" styles. On leaving the loom the cloth is first washed in soap
and water to remove any dirt or other foreign matter it may contain.
It is then fulled, which consists in shrinking the cloth both in
length and breadth, thus rendering the texture heavier and denser.
Next it is "gigged" or napped. This is accomplished by passing the
face of the matted cloth against a cylinder covered with sharp
pointed teasels which draw out the fibers from the yarn. This
operation is continued until a nap more or less dense is raised over
the entire surface.
From the gig the cloth is taken to the shearing machine, the revolving
blades of which cut the long, irregular nap down to a uniform level.
Sometimes the style of finish called for is that approaching a
threadbare cassimere, and in this case great care is necessary to
prevent the blades from cutting the yarn. In the rough finish the nap,
although sparingly raised, is comparatively long. Having been napped
and sheared, the cloth is pressed and carefully examined for defects,
then brushed, pressed, and highly steamed. When measured, rolled, and
steamed, it is ready for market, and is used mostly for ladies' and
gentlemen's suitings. The pattern and design are light stripes and
checks of small dimensions. Cheviot is a name given to many materials
used for suiting.
=Chinchilla.= Heavy coating with rough wavy face. The name is Spanish
for a fur-bearing animal of the mink species.
=Chudah.= Applied to billiard cloth; relates to color. Chudah is the
Hindoo name of a bright green cloth.
=Corduroy.= Heavy corded cotton material used for servants' livery.
The name is from the French Corde du Roi--king's cords.
=Cote Cheval.= In France corded cloth for riding costumes, such as
Bedford cord, is called cote cheval, the application being through
cheval, horse; cote, ribbed or lined.
=Coupure.= Coupure is French for cut through. Coupure or cut cashmere
is a cashmere weave showing lines cut through the twills lengthwise of
the piece.
=Covert.= Heavy twilled cloth in natural undyed shades, used in
England for men's overcoats worn while riding to covert in fox
=Delaine.= From the French "of wool"; applies to the most primitive
weave of plain wool yarn. Thirty years ago delaine was the staple
dress goods stock. It was made in solid colors.
=Diagonal Cheviot.= Same as cheviot, only in the weaving the pattern
is marked by zigzag lines or stripes.
=Doeskin.= Of the broadcloth range, made with shiny napped face, soft
finish, as the pelt of a doe.
=Drap d'Ete.= A heavy cashmere or double warp merino, with the back
teasled or scratched, used mostly for clergymen's clothing and in
lighter weights for women's dresses. The name is French for "cloth of
=Empress Cloth.= Similar to poplin; made of hard twisted worsted
filling and cotton warp. Was made a success in the early seventies of
the last century by the Empress Eugenie of France. Empress cloth was a
staple in all well-regulated dress goods lines.
=Epingline.= A fine corded fabric of wool or silk, showing the cords
woven close together and appearing as if lined with a pin point. This
application is from epingle, French for pin.
=Etamine.= French name for bolting or sifting cloth, made of silk for
sifting flour; applied to mesh or net weaves in America.
=Felt.= Fabric made by rolling or pressing a pulpy mass or mixture of
wool into a flat mat. The name is from the process. To felt is to mix
and press into shape.
=Flannel.= Wales appears to have been the original home of flannel,
and history informs us that this was the only textile produced in that
country for hundreds of years. It is constructed either of cotton or
wool, or of an intermixture of these fibers, and is a coarse-threaded,
loosely woven, light-weight fabric, more or less spongy and elastic,
with an unfinished, lusterless surface. Generally speaking all grades
of plain colored flannel are piece dyed, the soft open texture of the
goods permitting the fibers to absorb the dye as readily in the web as
in the yarn. Flannels are subjected to several finishing operations,
such as fulling, teaseling, pressing, and stretching. Flannels do not
require a great deal of fulling. All that is necessary is enough to
give a degree of stability and body to the goods.
=Dress Flannel.= All wool fabric used chiefly for women's winter
dresses; also called flannel suiting. It has a diversity of qualities,
colors, and styles of finish. It is commonly put up in double fold,
width from twenty-six to fifty inches.
=French Flannel.= A fine, soft twill, woven variety dyed in solid
shades, and also printed with patterns after the manner of calico;
used for morning gowns, dressing sacques, waists, etc.
=Shaker Flannel.= A variety of white flannel finished with
considerable nap, composed of cotton warp and woolen weft.
=Indigo Blue.= A superior all wool grade used in the manufacture
of men's suits and particularly for the uniform of members of the
=Mackinaw.= The name applied to an extra heavy blanket-like material
used in cold climates by miners and lumbermen for shirts and
=Navy Twilled Flannel.= A heavy all wool variety commonly dyed indigo
blue, commonly used in the manufacture of overshirts for out-door
laborers, firemen, sailors, and miners.
=Silk Warp Flannel.= A high grade, pure variety of flannel woven with
a silk warp and a fine woolen weft. It is a very soft, light-weight,
loosely woven flannel and runs only in narrow widths, twenty-seven
inches. If the finishing process is carried beyond fulling the texture
is rendered hard and firm, the cloth thus losing its softness and
elasticity. In the teaseling process it is necessary for the nap to be
raised only slightly, and this is commonly done in the direction of
the grain or twist of the warp. The perfection of a flannel finish
lies not in the smooth appearance of the cloth, but in its full, rich
softness. Sometimes the nap is sheared, but more often it is pressed
down flat upon the face of the cloth. After a thorough drying, and
careful examination for defects, the goods are rolled on boards, and
are ready for market. It is used for infants' wear and shawls, for
undergarments, bed coverings, and also to some extent for outer
garments in weights and styles adapted for that purpose.
=Baby Flannel.= A very light-weight variety woven of fine, soft wool,
smooth finish, bleached pure white.
=Florentine.= A heavy twilled mohair fabric for men's wear which is
sold largely to Italy and Spain. The name is from Florence, Italy.
=Foule.= A twilled, unsheared cloth; that is, the face appears to be
unsinged, and shows the woolly roughness in a slight degree. The cloth
when woven in the gray is fulled or shrunken in width by soaking in
soapsuds and passing it while wet through holes of different sizes in
a steel plate. The name is from fouler, French, to full or shrink.
=Frieze.= Frieze is a coarse, heavy cloth with a curly surface and
made at first of lamb's wool. It is now made from coarse grades of
wool. It is thick and heavily napped, and is used in the manufacture
of warm outer garments, particularly for men's wear. It was named
after the people of Friesland in Holland in the 13th century, and is
famous to-day as an Irish fabric. Irish frieze has extraordinary
durability, and the fibers are the longest and strongest made. The
weave is plain, small twill, or herring bone. When not of a solid
color it is usually a mixture, the colors being mixed in the raw
state. The wool is dyed in the raw state in mass, then doubled after
=Gloria.= Plain weave of silk and wool, and silk and cotton; first
made for umbrella covering. Name means bright.
=Granada.= Popular weave of mohair, made in coating weight for
Spanish trade. Granada is a city in Spain.
=Grenadine.= Originally a plain, openwork, net-like fabric of silk,
mohair, cotton, or wool. We have grenadines in Jacquards and in set
patterns. The name is an adaptation of Granada.
=Henrietta Cloth.= A twilled cashmere of light weight and high finish,
originally made with silk warp and wool filling in Yorkshire, England.
The name was given in honor of Henrietta Maria of England, Queen of
Charles I. The silk warp, hand-woven fabric was first produced about
the year 1660.
=Homespun.= A rough, loosely woven material made from coarse yarn. It
is soft but rather clumsy. A general term used to designate cloth spun
or wrought at home. The homespun of the present day is a woolen fabric
in imitation of those fabrics made by hand before the introduction of
textile machinery. It is made of a coarse, rough, and uneven thread;
usually of plain weave and no felting. It was woven by the early
settlers of the Eastern and Southern States. It is now used as woolen
suiting for men's wear and in various kinds of coarse, spongy, shaggy
cloth for women's gowns.
=Hop Sacking.= A coarse bagging made commonly of a combination of hemp
and jute, used for holding hops during transportation. The name hop
sacking is also applied to a variety of woolen dress goods made from
different classes of yarn. It is made of carded woolen fabric of the
plainest kind. The cloth is characterized by an open weave, and a
square check-like mesh, the structure being designed to imitate that
of the coarse jute bagging. It has very little finish, is usually dyed
in solid colors, and is used for women's and children's dresses.
=Jeans.= Cotton or woolen coarse twilled fabric. In cotton used for
linings, in wool for men's cheap clothing. The name is from a Genoese
coin, relating to the price of the cloth; so much for one jean.
=Kersey.= A very heavy, felted, satin finish woolen cloth made with
the cotton weave or cross twill for face, and cotton weave or four
harness satin for back. It was originally made with fine Merino lamb's
wool for face, and somewhat coarser grade for back. The cheaper grades
are manufactured from a fine-fibered wool and shoddy, with low grades
of shoddy and mungo for back. It is named from an English town,
Kersey, where from the eleventh to the fifteenth century a large
woolen trade was carried on. The Kersey of early history was a coarse
cloth, known under different names, and before knitting was used for
stockings. In the construction of Kersey the cloth is woven a few
inches wider in the loom (and correspondingly longer) than it is to
appear in the finished state. This is done in order that the meshes
may be closed up in the fulling mill to insure a covering of threads.
Previous to fulling, however, the face of the cloth is gigged to
produce a good covering for the threads by forming a light nap, which
is fitted in. In the fulling operation, which comes next, the cloth is
shrunk to its proper width and density, usually to a degree rendering
it difficult to see the individual warp and filling threads, so
closely are they matted together. Fulling is followed by gigging, and
in this process a nap more or less heavy is raised on the face of the
goods by means of teasels. The cloth is run through the gig several
times and then sheared in order to render the fibers forming the nap
short, even, and of uniform length. Great care is exercised in the
shearing, as the nap must be cropped quite close and yet not expose
the threads or cut the face. The next operation is scouring or
steaming, in which live steam is forced through every part of the
goods for the purpose of developing the natural luster of the wool. In
case the goods are to be piece dyed, the dyeing follows scouring.
After steaming, the cloth is thoroughly matted and gigged again, care
being taken to avoid stirring up the ground nap. It is then dried and
the nap briskly brushed in a steam brusher and laid evenly in one
direction. Again the cloth is slightly steamed and primed, face up.
The result of this treatment is the production of a texture firm, yet
pliable, with a highly lustrous face and one not liable to wear rough
or threadbare. Kersey is used for overcoats.
=Kerseymere.= Light weight twilled worsted; same derivative of name as
=Linsey Woolsey.= Coarse cloth of linen and wool used as skirtings by
the British peasantry. The name is from the components of the cloth.
=Melrose.= Double twilled silk and wool fabric; named for Melrose, a
town on the Tweed, in Scotland.
=Melton.= A thick, heavy woolen fabric with short nap, feeling
somewhat rough. Meltons are made firm in the loom. The weaves for
single cloth meltons are usually plain, and three or four harness
twill. For double cloths the plain weave is used, or a weave with a
plain face and a one-third weave on the back. All trace of the weave
is destroyed in the finishing. The colors usually black or dark blue.
=Meltonette.= A cloth of the same general appearance as melton, of
light weight, for women's wear.
=Merino.= A fabric woven of the wool of the Merino sheep, twilled on
both sides, the twill being uneven. Merino resembles cashmere.
=Mohair Brilliantine.= A dress fabric resembling alpaca, of superior
quality, and sometimes finished on both sides. The name is from the
Arabic mukayyan, cloth of goat's hair. It is made from the long,
silky hair of the Angora goat of Asia Minor, a species which is being
introduced into the United States. The fabric has a hard, wiry feel,
and if made from the pure material has a high luster. It has cotton
warp and luster worsted filling. The weave is plain ground, or with a
small Jacquard figure, and when a very lustrous fabric is wanted, the
warp yarn is of finer counts than the filling yarn. The warp and
filling yarns are dyed previous to weaving. They may be of the same
color or different colors. The contrast of colors in connection with
the weave gives the fabric a pretty effect. Fabrics made with dyed
yarns are usually given a dry finish, that is, simply run through the
press and cylinder heated, after which they are rolled and then
packed. Those made with undyed filling are first scoured, then dyed,
after which they are run through a rotary press with fifty or sixty
pounds of steam heat. Mohair brilliantine is used for dress goods.
=Montagnac= is heavy overcoating. The French montagne, for mountain,
is the origin of the name, being for mountain wear.
=Orleans.= Cloth of cotton warp and bright wool fulling, made in
Orleans, France. Many of the so-called alpacas and mohairs of to-day
are Orleans. These fabrics are mostly cross-dyed, that is, fabrics
with warp and filling of different shades. After weaving they are
cross-dyed or redyed to give solid colors and glace effects.
=Panama Cloth= is a plain weave worsted fabric of no uniform
construction or finish. Fabrics sold under this name vary
considerably. They are of solid colors, usually piece dyed, and are
used for suitings.
=Prunella.= From the French prunelle, which means plum, a stout
worsted material named from its color, which is a purplish shade
similar to that of a ripe plum. The name was originally applied to a
kind of lasting of which clergymen's gowns were made. It is now used
to denote a variety of rich, satin-faced worsted cloth employed for
women's dresses. The fibers are worsted. Prunella is dyed either in
piece or yarn state and is hand finished.
=Sacking.= Plain solid color flannel in special shades for women's
dressing sacks, also applied to a fabric made of hemp for grain sacks.
=Sanglier.= A plain fabric of wiry worsted or mohair yarn, closely
woven, with a rough finished surface. Sanglier is French for wild
boar, the hairy, wiry cloth resembling the coat of the animal.
=Sebastopol.= A twill-faced cloth named from Sebastopol, the Russian
fortified town captured by the English and French in 1855.
=Serge.= Under this name are classed a large number of fabrics of
twill construction. In weight and texture a modern serge resembles
flannel, except that it is twill woven and composed of fine yarn
finished with a smoother surface. Serge comes from the Italian word
sergea, meaning cloth of wool mixed with silk. Serges are woven of
worsted, of silk, or of cotton yarn, and variously dyed, finished, and
ornamented, as silk serge, serge suiting, storm serge, mohair serge,
etc. Worsted serges of various kinds and degrees have been known since
the twelfth century. Worsted serge appears to have come into general
use as a material for men's wear in the sixteenth century. Modern
serges vary but little from those made two centuries ago. They are
dyed in a great variety of colors. On leaving the loom the cloth is
washed and scoured with soap and water to remove the dirt and oil (if
these remain the cloth will not take the dye properly). After dyeing,
it is passed through a pair of metal rollers under pressure, which
renders the surface more regular and even and of a better luster. This
process accomplishes more than is required, for it produces a bloom on
the surface which will show rain specks when in the garment, if it is
allowed to remain. This is ordinary serge. In order to make storm
serge it is necessary to remove part of the bloom, and to accomplish
this the cloth is steamed sufficiently to neutralize the effect of
pressing. Steaming deadens the bloom and prevents the effects of rain
showing on the cloth. The wearing qualities of serge are good, but it
gets a shine easily. It is used for dress goods and suitings. Serge
suiting used for men's clothing is a variety of light, wiry, worsted
yarn woven with a flat twill, and dyed black or in shades of blue,
fifty-four inches in width. Mohair serge is woven with a cotton warp
and a mohair filling, thirty-two inches in width. This is dyed in a
variety of colors and largely used as lining material for women's
clothes, men's coats, and overcoats. Storm serge, designed to
withstand exposure to stormy weather, is a coarse variety of worsted
dress goods produced in a wide range of colors and qualities. The
twill is wider, the texture stouter, and the surface rougher and
cleaner than that of ordinary serge. Iridescent serge is a variety of
worsted dress goods woven with warp and filling of different colors,
causing a shimmering or iridescent effect. Cravenette serge is a fine
twilled variety having a firm, closely woven texture, dyed black and
in colors, and is used for women's gowns, men's summer suits, etc.
Serge de Barry is a high-grade dress goods of fine texture, with fine
twill, and wiry feel.
=Shoddy= is made from old woolen stockings or rags, shredded or picked
by hand or machine, to render the yarn suitable for spinning a second
time, or to give a fiber that can be woven or felted with a wool or
cotton warp. The name has come to mean cheap, make-believe.
=Sicilian.= Heavy weight cotton warp, mohair filled cloth. Sicilienne,
the proper name, was made in the Island of Sicily as a heavy ribbed,
all silk fabric.
=Sultane.= Twilled cloth of silk and wool; finished in the rough, not
singed or sheared. The name is from Sultana, the first wife of the
=Tamise.= Similar to etamine, with a very close mesh, made first of
silk and wool. Tamis is French for sieve.
=Tartans.= Plaids of the Scottish clans worn by men in the Highlands
of Scotland as a diagonal scarf, fastened on one shoulder and crossing
the body. Each clan had a distinctive tartan or plaid. The name was
adapted from the French tiretaine, a thin woolen checked cloth.
=Thibet.= Heavy, coarse weave of goat's hair, made by the Thibetans in
Asia for men's wear.
=Tricot.= A heavy, compound fabric characterized by a line effect
running warp way or filling way of the piece, usually produced with
either woolen or worsted yarn. Tricot was originally a name given to
fabrics made of woolen yarn or thread by hand knitting, and is the
French word meaning knitting. The term was later applied to materials
made on a knitting frame and now known as jersey cloth. Since 1840 the
name tricot has been applied to finely woven woolen cloth, the weave
of which is intended to imitate the face effect of a knitted fabric.
The fabric is composed of woolen and worsted fibers, sometimes with
cotton warp woven so as to hide the cotton in finishing. The tricot
line is similar to the rib line in a ribbed cloth except that it is
not so pronounced. All tricots are constructed with two sets of warp
thread and are characterized by a texture which, while dense, is
singularly elastic, in this respect being somewhat similar to heavy
jersey cloth. Tricots are commonly dyed in plain colors, and are
finished clear so as to show the filling. When intended for trousers
they are ornamented with small, neat patterns.
=Tweed.= A rough unfinished fabric of soft, open, and flexible
texture, of wool or cotton and wool, usually of yarn of two or more
shades; originally the product of the weavers on the bank of the river
Tweed in Scotland. The face of the cloth presents an unfinished
appearance rather than a sharp and clearly defined pattern.
=Veiling= includes light weight, usually plain weave fabrics of
various constructions; generally made with singed or polished yarns.
They are in solid colors. The use is designated by the name.
=Venetian.= Venetian cloth has a worsted or cotton warp and worsted
filling; named from Venetia, a country around Venice. The warp yarns
are firmly twisted, the twist being in the opposite direction to the
twist in the filling yarn. Venetian is a trade term of wide
application, in use since early times as a descriptive title for
various fabrics, textures, and garments. One of the many varieties is
a species of twill weaving in which the lines or twills are of a
rounded form and arranged in a more or less upright position, hence a
closely woven worsted cloth. The name is also applied to other
fabrics, as a twilled lining fabric woven with a cotton warp and a
worsted filling known as Italian cloth. It is dyed in plain colors and
is piece or yarn dyed for men. For women's wear it has light weight
and plain colors with mixed effects and closely sheared nap. It is
finished smooth so as to show the yarns prominently. Venetian cloth
has not so much felting as broadcloth; it shows the weave more, but
has the same lustrous finish.
=Vigogne= or =Vicuna=. A soft wool cloth of the cheviot order, with
teasled face, made from the wool of the vicuna, a South American
animal. Vigogne is the French name for the animal.
=Vigoureux.= A name applied to a plain or twill mixture, woven of
undyed natural wool yarns. The French spinners found that the
strongest yarns were those of the undyed wool. Sometimes two or more
shades or tones are spun into one thread. The name is French for
=Voiles.= Voiles are plain weave worsted fabrics made with hard
twisted yarns. As clear a face as possible is secured in finishing,
the cloth being singed or sheared closely if the yarns are not made
comparatively free from loose fibers before being woven. Voiles are
dyed in solid colors, and are used principally for dress goods.
=Whipcord.= Hard twisted worsted twills, either solid or mixed colors.
The name is from the hard twisted lash of a whip.
=Worsted Diagonals= are characterized by prominent weave effects
running diagonally across the cloth. The goods are usually of a solid
color, and are given a finish which brings the weave into prominence.
Diagonals are used for suitings.
=Unfinished worsted= is a fabric woven with yarn with very little
twist in it, and finished so as to make it appear covered with loose
fibers, concealing the twill effect. After leaving the loom the cloth
is placed in a fulling machine which condenses the fibers, thus
increasing the density. It is then passed over hot presses after a
slight shearing.
=Finished Worsted= is woven with yarn with a considerable twist, and
finished in such a way as to show the construction of the cloth
clearly. The finishing consists simply of scouring the cloth and not
fulling it and then passing it through hot water baths between heavy
rolls to remove all the soap. It is then sheared and pressed.
=Zephyr.= Light worsted yarn, also light weight cotton gingham. Zephyr
is Greek for the light west wind.
=Zibeline.= A cloth manufactured with Merino lamb's wool for warp, and
a light wool mixed with camel's hair for filling; or, worsted warp and
camel's hair for filling; or either of the foregoing warps and a
mixture of wool, camel's hair, and fine cashmere for filling. The long
cashmere hair spreads over the surface. Used for ladies' tailor-made
coats or suits, according to weight. The name is derived from the
Latin word sabellum, meaning sable, and was applied originally to a
variety of long-haired fur generally thought to be the same as sable.
Zibeline has long hairs on its right side, some grades being almost
like fur.

4th grade has really been enjoying the book we are reading, I Will Always Write Back. It is a true story about pen pals from the US and Zimbabwe that build a bond over years of letters. The book discusses the extreme poverty in which some people live. This poverty can even prevent kids from getting an education. 4th grade wanted to help make change, as this didn't seem fair.
We did some research and found that the young boy from Zimbabwe, Martin Ganda, (co-author of our book,) grew up to be successful and also to found a non-profit to help other children like himself, Seeds of Africa.
We brainstormed how children can raise funds to support this organization, and the idea of making greeting cards came up. Learning about these big ideas prompted us to thinking about meaningful quotes that incorporated the theme of T'zdakah which inspired us to create beautiful cards, adorned with colors and impactful quotations.
Our 4th grade students and their 1st grade buddies tackled the card creation with enthusiasm, so we now have close to 40 cards to sell at school on November 9. Yonim students are also share their learning and fundraising experience with other classes, encouraging SJCS to continue to increase class and school-wide participation in T'zdakah projects.

Freaky Friday
Posted October 21, 2009on:
Hamburger Disco, Hamburger Disco, Hamburger Disco! What a fun brand name to say! The folks over at Hamburger Disco have just released some new tees, including one that's out just in time for Halloween. "Freaky Friday," available in both men's and women's versions, shows a hamburger-headed chef bringing out a plate with a human head cooked to perfection. Since there is blood around the chef's neck, I'm wondering if he somehow managed to chop off his own head, only to replace it with a nice, juicy burger. Either that or hamburgers are a human-like species of their own in the world of Hamburger Disco! I love the style of the illustration and its large size on the tee. This makes for a wonderful, non-gruesome shirt that everyone can wear on Halloween and year-round. Head over to the Hamburger Disco store to pick up "Freaky Friday" for $24, and be sure check out their other refreshing designs!
