The History of Rundle Fabric: A Durable and Warm Material of the Past

Rundle is a term that was used in the past to describe a type of fabric made from wool and cotton. It was popular in the 19th century and was known for its durability and warmth. The fabric was often used to make clothing such as coats, jackets, and trousers.

The name "rundle" is derived from the Old English word "rondel," which means "a type of cloth." The term was originally used to describe a specific type of woolen fabric that was made in the West Riding of Yorkshire, England. Over time, the term came to be used more broadly to describe any type of fabric made from a blend of wool and cotton.

Today, the term "rundle" is not commonly used in the fashion industry, as it has been largely replaced by other terms such as "wool-blend" or "cotton-wool blend." However, some vintage clothing collectors and historians may still use the term to describe clothing items made from this type of fabric.
