Dornix

Dornix, also known as dornicks and darnacle, is name used for woollen and linen fabrics, first used in the 16th century.

[1] 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.

[3] It was popular in middle-class English homes in the 15th century.

[5] Dornick (also spelled dornock[6] Dornec or Darnec[7]) was a strong linen damask used for table cloth, wall hangings, etc.

[8][10] Dornix or Dornick table linens were made in a number of Scottish centres, especially at Dunfermline, but the association of the word with the name of the town Dornoch is erroneous.
