A heavy, often ribbed or watered fabric of wool or wool and cotton, used mainly for curtains and upholstery.

Its weight let it block draughts and light better than a thin cotton fabric, which suited the tall windows of that period. The word turns up often in older novels describing well-furnished rooms.
