What is doublecloth? I'm not familiar with that term.
Heather in Calgary
Doublecloth is a fabric that has been woven so that it has two layers of fabric interconnected by threads. It has two right sides. A Double faced fabric is similar in it has two good sides, but does not have the double layer to it.
Jacquard woven fabrics sometimes come this way, with the print on one side, and plain on the other.
Hope this answers your question. Cathy
Thanks Cathy. Explains it for sure.

I know Britex in San Fransisco has lots of beautiful double cloth wools.
http://www.britexfabrics.com/I just noticed your name, I assume you live in the UK? I can't help with you there, but check out Britex, maybe you can order?

Thank you for your suggestion! I was in San Fran. 3 years ago and spent a wonderful afternoon and lots of $$$ at Britex. I'll check it out!
You are right...I am originally from England. We have now lived in the States for 24 years and became citizens 15 years ago.Once again thank you for the idea.
Happy Sewing!
