Small buttons, or rather balls and clumps of fluff that form during spinning and get incorporated into the yarn; this technique is used to give textured yarns a bobbly effect, sometimes in various colours. These yarns are used both in knitwear and fabrics like Donegal and Knickerbocker. →
Finishing process for heavy winter fabrics for coats. On the shorn face of the fabric, after a thorough raising, bringing out an abundant and dense down, the surface is rubbed energetically in order to obtain little tufts, or knots, or coils in all directions. Different effects can be achieved by adjusting the friezing machine, the types of covering and the movements of the plate working on the fibres. Depending on the effects, the size and shape of the knots, the fabrics are given different names: Ratiné, Flocconé, Moutonné, Frisé, etc. A famous friezed fabric is the “Casentino”, typical fabric of the area in Tuscany. →
