1. lisle

   Lisle is a type of high-quality, smooth thread that is made from long staple cotton. It is often used in the manufacture of stockings, gloves, underwear, and other finely woven fabrics. The cotton is hard spun and then given a gas-singeing process to remove any fuzz and create a smooth, soft finish. Lisle can refer to both the thread itself and the fabric made from it.

1. lisle

   A city of France, formerly the capital of French Flanders, and now of the department of the North. It was founded in 1009 by Baudouin IV., count of Flanders. It fell into the power of Philip the Fair, after a siege of three months in 1297, and was taken again by Guy, count of Flanders, in 1302. The Protestants attempted in vain to surprise it in 1581, and the French besieged it without success in 1645. Wrested from the Spaniards by Louis XIV. in 1667, and retaken by the allies in 1708, after a long and obstinate siege, it was ceded to France by the treaty of Utrecht. The Austrians bombarded it from September 29 till October 6, 1792, but the garrison, admirably supported by the bravery of the inhabitants, compelled them to raise the siege.
