| Fabrics varied, and included calendared or glazed fabrics of wool, plain or floral printed calicos and muslins, and glazed chintz monochrome or polychrome prints. |
| The earliest known cotton textiles are from the Indus Valley, and for centuries Indian calicos and muslins were widely traded luxury goods. |
| From cotton are made many qualities of unbleached, half-bleached, and bleached cloth, also calicoes, ginghams, muslins, nainsooks, cambrics, etc. |
| It continued in textile design, particularly in whitework embroidery and some printed calicoes, into the mid-nineteenth century. |
| Colonial New Englanders were also familiar with such floral motifs through imported calicoes and palampores imported from India. |
