cotton/linen blend Explanation: Halbleinen ist ein Gewebe mit einem Mindestgehalt an Leinenfasern, es wird typischerweise mit Leinen als Schuss und meist Baumwolle-Kettfäden gewebt. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flachsfaser Halbleinen sind glatte oder gemusterte Gewebe (z. B. Wäschestoffe) aus Flachs- und Baumwollgarnen, jeweils in Kette oder Schuss. Der Leinenanteil beim Halbleinen muss mindestens 40 % betragen. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halbleinen HL- Cotton/Linen Blend aka Halbleinen http://reviews.ebay.com/International-Fabric-Textile-Abbrevi...

peer agreement (net): +1linen union Explanation: perhaps a more historically accurate term linen union: "a fabric produced with a mixture of flax linen and cotton, it has a cotton warp and linen weft."

half-cotton linens Explanation: Seems to fit the language used in those days.. Today you might call them linen cotton blends. Example from link below: "Such half -cotton linens probably resembled the plain types of fustians so closely that it becomes a question whether the two branches did not shade off into each other." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day2 hrs (2013-02-06 21:55:12 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Forgot to include the preceding sentence in the quote: "...On the Continent they were also in some cases found in close connection, for instance at Strassburg, where in 1616 the weaving of halbleinen with a cotton weft was governed by a different set of regulations from those applied to fustians (barchent).."
