Duncan - thank you, yes they were my curtains!
Being of a literal sort of brain I started reading Mike's response as it was the first one ...and read it several times as I was certainly confused. Then I found the very helpful diagram. I think we were indeed at cross purposes; perhaps I should have indicated too rather than try to explain something about which I know very little (in such exalted company).
And yes, Mike, I believe the Largennius image helps to explain what the "curtains" are.
And I would have to agree with Graham too that to achieve such wonderful draping the wool would have to be very finely woven.
Thank you for the discussion and for the explanations - seems I lied and it did become more essential than I thought !!
Can we discuss the belts now please??? :mrgreen:

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!
