Calamanco (also calimanco, callimanco, or kalamink) is fabric with a glazed surface that was popular in the United Kingdom and the United States in the 18th and 19th centuries. It was typically made of linsey-woolsey (a linen-wool mix), and the glazing was achieved by calendaring (pressing the cloth between hot rollers), by surface-rubbing with a stone, or by applying wax to the surface. The name comes from a Spanish term for worsted wool.Calamanco goes back to the late 16th century but was most popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. It was made in a number of different weaves, including plain, damask, and satin weaves; and it was printed in both solid colors and patterns like stripes and florals. Early in the period, it was used in clothing, but later on it was more commonly used for bed coverings, and surviving fragments are often found in quilts of the era, especially whole-cloth quilts. The surface sheen of the calamanco sets off intricate quilting patterns. |
