The Soft and Durable Dittamy Fabric of the 14th Century
Dittamy is a word that was used in the 14th century to refer to a type of cloth or fabric. It was made from a mixture of wool and silk, and was prized for its softness and durability. The word "dittamy" is derived from the Old French word "ditamie," which was used to describe a type of fine cloth made from a blend of wool and silk.
The use of dittamy as a term for a type of fabric has largely fallen out of use in modern times, but it remains an interesting piece of historical trivia for those interested in textiles and the history of fashion.
