union

There are three definitions of union cloths:

1. A fabric manufactured in England from a cotton warp and shoddy weft. The cloth is heavily napped.
2. A fabric made with the warp yarn of one fibre differing from the weft yarn of another fibre. For example it is common to find tea towels made with linen warps and cotton wefts.
3. A fabric woven from yarns made by twisting together single yarns of differing fibres, such as linen and cotton.
