Remnant 3/4″ Natural White Worsted Wool Tape, 15″ long

Made in England

3/4″ (19 mm)

Natural white worsted lace was used as trim on British sergeant’s coats. White worsted tape may also be used on civilian clothing. In 1745, in The Virginia Gazette, “RAN away from the Subscriber, living in . . .  Maryland . . .  Two Servant Men; one of them is a Convict . . .  a Smith by Trade; had on, or with him . . .  a red Cloth Jacket and Breeches, with white Trimming”. Off white 35/2 or 60/2 linen thread match this tape well.
