He gives several examples from the late C16th. The first mention of "bombasy" is in a draper's bill (Clothing, 1589 Edinburgh University, Laing ms II. 2.9: drapers bill to Margaret Livingston, "Item to be a doublet to the said Mr Thomas thre els & half tw eld bombasy at xxxs the el"). The second is mention of "bombasy" in a merchant's inventory (Merchant: Alexander Park d,1570, NRS ECC8/8/2, p.102, Edinburgh Merchant, Flemish goods and price, "Item ane steik of bombasy price therof xlj s."); Viveka Hansen informs us that "According to ‘Svenska Akademiens Ordbok’ the word ‘bombasin’ or ‘bombasäng’ in Swedish had different meanings at different times: like silk/wool, woollen fabric, cotton qualities, cotton/wool etc. 3 references to the C17th in this Swedish source, including "Engelst bommersin", "Skåtz bommerssin", "Hollensk bomersin .. Hamburger bomersin".[37]; Dr Stephen Snelders notes that "in Dutch bombazijn was originally silk, but later cotton used especially for lining and workman’s clothing. Related to moleskin."[38]; Cynthia Chin comments that "even in popular 20thc. fiction, Margaret Mitchell used a black “bombazine” to style Scarlett O’Hara’s mid-C19th black mourning dress that made her look “a trifle elderly” in the 1936 “Gone with the Wind”; Dr Kimberly Alexander adds that "bombazin has yet additional meaning/composition in the first half of the C19th, much like camblet".

Napkins of birdseye worke [FROM A 1666 INVENTORY OF A RICH LONDON MERCHANT] ("two dozen of napkins of birdseye worke")[270]; COMMENTARY: M.J. Logue suggests that "birdseye is a weave - a sort of diamond shaped pick", and cites an example of modern napkins made from "birdseye cotton diaper cloth"
Napkins of lavander bloome worke [FROM A 1666 INVENTORY OF A RICH LONDON MERCHANT] ("one douzen of napkins of lavander bloome worke)[271]
Napkins of rose and crame worke [FROM A 1666 INVENTORY OF A RICH LONDON MERCHANT] ("two douzen of napkins of rose and crame worke")[272]; COMMENTARY: Textile historian Viveka Hansen states that from her experience of listed linen in Swedish C17th-18th estate inventories etc, she thinks it most likely… | Damask woven linen napkins with a pattern named “rose and crame worke” (quite common that patterns are difficult to identify). Hansen adds that the "crose and crame" pattern would have been in the weave and most probably in the complicated damask technique. Colin Greenstreet had suggested that "rose and crame worke" might refer to "rose design embroidery and macramé lace or fringe of some type", citing Sylvia's Book of Macramé Lace (London & New York, 1882), which refer specifically to a "course holland towel, embroidered with coloured cotton and white thread, and finished off at each end with knotted fringe".[273] M.J. Logue is unconvinced of this explanation, arguing that macramé was only introduced to England into the court of Queen Mary in the late C17th. However, the above mentioned napkins, if with macramé fringe, could have been imported from Italy, or elsewhere. They appear to have belonged to Elizabeth Ashburnham, the third wife of wealthy London merchant Sir John Jacob, who survived Jacob's death. Logue also argues that "worke" was a common term for a weave, which is consistent with Viveka Hansen's expert opinion. Logue also notes that "'crame' apparently means bought from a pedlar, usually a Scots expression" and that "Sir John Sene (1681) says 'Ane pedder is called ane merchand or cremer, quha beirs ane pack or creame upon his back'" (De verborum significatione).

Don identifies multiple common place names for the herb, including "Dyer's-weed, yellow-weed, weld, woud, woold and wild woad", and also "Dyers'-woold". He states "Dyers formerly made considerable use of this plant; for it affords a most beautiful yellow dye for cotton, woollen, silk, and linen. Blue cloths are dipped in a decoction of it in order to become green...The entire plant when it is about flowering is pulled up for the use of the dyers, who employ it both fresh and dried." Don distinguishes "Reseda Luteola" , or "Dyer's-Woold", from Woad or Indigo.[455]; Woad ('Isatis tinctoria') is an indigo dye-bearing plant of Assyria and the Levant, grown extensively in the past in Northern Europe.[456] SECONDARY SOURCES: (1) 'Reseda Luteola', in George Don, A General History of the Dichlamydeous Plants, (London, 1831), pp. 287-288[457] (2) 'Weld (Reseda luteola), in Wild Colours - Weld Dye Plants, online web resource[458] (3) 'Isatis tinctoria' (also called woad, dyer's woad, or glastum), Wikipedia entry[459] (4) 'Glossary of dyeing terms', Wikipedia entry, online webresource[460]
