Greetings all,

In the course of translating cultural heritage terms from Dutch to English, I have come across 'tibet', a Dutch term, defined as 'Very fine woollen twill fabric for making dresses'. Not much to go on, but it is most probably an historical fabric and possibly made from cashmire. 

For this translation project, at least two reliable sources are required for each term so no guesses or hunches can be used unless references can be found to support them. Having said that, any suggested terms which could lead to a correct verified one would be greatly appreciated as well as any concrete suggestions.

With thanks,

Jennifer Barnett
