i think we covered diaper cloth-- not too long ago..above the fold in Q & A, i think. Diaper cloth (ie cloth woven with diamonds and texture) was commonly used (when made in 100% cotton) as cloth for babies bottoms.. so diaper cloth, became cloth diapers..(at least in US)

Cloth type/names are very old.. says something about textiles.. (Anu touch on that in one of the comments. recently, how closely scripted pages were refered to by the monk as being text(ile) like.. )

Textiles (cloth) and technology both share a root-- text (writen words) are said to resemble woven cloth -the ink on the page creates a text (like)pattern- texture if you will!

The weavers of the hebradies are right, If it wasn't for the work of the weavers, no one else could get anything done.. Its is the weaving of cloth that starts the ball rolling.. (and language echo's that!)
