Tessuti&Co.

Casentino

See RATINATO. Carded woollen fabric originating in the Tuscan area of the same name, rustic but soft, with medium-height pile nap which has undergone napping (pressure and rubbing) which causes the pile to thicken into clumps. The typical colours of this fabric are green, orange, white and beige, but originally the true casentino cloth was red.
