<div>'''Worsted''' is the name of a [[yarn]] and [[cloth]] usually made from [[wool]]. The name derives from the village of [[Worstead]][[www.worstead.co.uk]] in [[Norfolk, England]]. The village became, along with [[North Walsham]] and [[Aylsham]], a centre for the manufacture of yarn and cloth, after weavers from [[Flanders]] arrived in Norfolk in the 12th century.<br />
<br />
The yarn is well twisted and spun of long staple wool (though nowadays also medium and short fibres are used). The wool is combed so that the fibres lie parallel.<br />
<br />
The cloth has a hard, smooth texture, usually whipcord, gabardine or serge, and the usual weave is a twill weave.<br />
<br />
Worsted is also used for carpets, garments, hosiery and gloves.<br />
