A type of lightweight woolen fabric with a cotton warp and woolen weft, used for clothing and upholstery.
Named after Domett, an English cloth-maker or place of manufacture, with -ett suffix. The fabric name commemorates its origin in the textile industry of 19th-century England.
Domett is almost forgotten today, but it represents the incredible diversity of Victorian textiles—mills had hundreds of named fabrics, each with specific properties for different social classes and uses.
