Dornix, also known as dornicks and darnacle, is a wool and linen fabric, first used in the 16th century.
Dornix originated in the Belgian town of Tournai (Doornik in Flemish) in the 15th century and was made from a combination of wool and linen. [1] It was a coarse cloth, similar to kersey, and used on beds, hangings, curtains and similar purposes. [2] It was popular in middle-class English homes in the 15th century. [3] Manufacture spread to the Flemish town of Lille, and to Norwich in England, where substantial manufacture continued until the 18th century. [4]
Dornick (also spelled dornock [5] Dornec or Darnec [6]) was a strong linen damask used for table cloth, wall hangings, etc. Dornick also originated at Tournai. [7] [8] [9] A similar fabric was Dorrock; [10] the names Dornock and Dorrock are associated with Scotland. [7] [9]
