Corduroy Wales (or is it whales?)

Feb 11, 2006 1 Replies

Hi All,



When reading my Croft Mill catalogue, corduroy is described as 'four wale' or 'six wale' - what does that refer to? I'm guessing it's the number of ridges per inch - but I'm not sure......



TIA, Sarah


That's exactly right. I love the Croft Mill catalogue! :)
