Ferret is a woven tape trim. Dow lace is probably dowlas, a coarse linen fabric. Can't help with Scot cloth, though.

I’d be curious if any list members have reflections on the names listed there and their definitions. There are a few terms near the end of the entry which the author, not a sewer, couldn’t identify: nor can I. Have fun! ==Marjorie Wilser @..@ @..@ @..@ Three Toad Press http://3toad.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
