Fullered

/ˈfʊlərd/ adjective

Definition

Processed or finished by a fuller; having undergone the fulling process to thicken and strengthen the cloth.

Etymology

From 'fuller' (one who fulls cloth) plus '-ed' suffix indicating a completed process or treatment.

Kelly Says

A 'fullered' cloth had a completely different character than raw woven material—it was thicker, stronger, and warmer, which is why Medieval warfare required fullered woolens to protect knights.
