   A kind of stuff originally made by a mixture of silk and camels hair; it is now made with wool and silk.

   This habit was not of camels skin, nor any course texture of its hair, but rather some finer weave of camelot, grograin, or the like; in as much as these stuffs are supposed to be made of the hair of that animal. Thomas Browne, Vulgar Errours.

   Meantime the pastor shears their hoary beards,
   And eases, of their hair, the loaden herds:
   Their camelots warm in tents the soldier hold,
   And shield the shiv’ring mariner from cold. John Dryden, Virgil.

1. Camlet

   Camlet, also commonly known as camelot or camblet, is a woven fabric that might have originally been made of camel or goat's hair, now chiefly of goat's hair and silk, or of wool and cotton. The original form of this cloth was very valuable; the term later came to be applied to imitations of the original eastern fabric. In the 18th century, England, France, Holland, and Flanders were the chief places of its manufacture; Brussels exceeded them all in the beauty and quality of its camlets, followed by England. A variety of terms have been used for camlet in different forms: ⁕Figured camlets are of one color, on which are stamped various figures, flowers, foliages, etc. The figures were applied with hot irons, passed together with the fabric, under a press. In the 18th century, these were chiefly brought from Amiens and Flanders. In antiquity, figured camlets were much more sought after than in modern times. ⁕Water camlets, after weaving, received a certain preparation with water; and were afterwards passed under a hot press, giving them a smoothness and lustre. ⁕Waved camlets feature impressed waves, as on tabbies. Manufacturers of camlets had to take care not to introduce any unnecessary pleats in the fabric, as they were almost impossible to undo. This difficulty was so notorious, that a proverb existed, stating that someone "is like a camlet—he has taken his pleat."
