Talk:Caffoy

What IS caffoy?
What actually defines caffoy; how is caffoy distinct from other fabrics? It's not the fibre used, as silk was replaced or supplemented by wool. Is it a type of weave? Or is it simply an obsolete word that may not have been well-defined, or whose meaning has been lost or successively modified? Or was later "caffoy" a sort of counterfeit silk caffoy?

 * The article creator has WP:CIR issues in english and spend his time creating these obscure articles, often with refs that are more than a century old. It is an obsolete word that had fallen into misuse many many years ago, and like many of the article creaters articles has no encyclopeadic value at all. Like many of the articles he has started, it shouldn't exist. -Roxy the grumpy dog . wooF 17:24, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks. The entire Oxford English Dictionary article is "Caffoy: Obsolete. 1. Some kind of fabric, imported in the 18th cent." I will go away and do something useful. Actually, I will add this to the article. Best wishes, Pol098 (talk) 18:18, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
