It is commonly said to have been made of camel's hair, and imported from the East; but as it is repeatedly mentioned as a common and cheap stuff, it is probable that it was an imitation of the Eastern fabric. It was made as early as the thirteenth century in Flanders and Brabant, of many colors. And dame Abstinence-streyned Toke on a robe of kamelyne. Rom. of the Rose, 1. 7367.
