tweed. “Twill” would have been the name of the coarse woo- len cloth named “tweed” if the Scotch weavers who wove it in the mid-19th century had had their way. Twill referred to the weaving style used to make the cloth, but English merchants at the time dubbed it tweed both because twill was pronounced tweal in Scottish dialect and because the Tweed River passes through the southern part of Scotland where the cloth is made. |
