"Crash is a coarse fabric with a rough, irregular surface, made from thick, uneven yarns. Crash fabric is coarse linen based rugged material made from both dyed and raw yarns. The yarns used are often grey or white in color. Crash fabrics are indistinct woven. Linen is generally used for the warp, while blends of linen and jute, cotton, and wool, etc. were used for the filling. The weave structure may vary from plain, twill to fancy. Crash fabric was very thick, strong, rough and because of linen's characteristics it is absorbent also. The coarsest type was called Russian crash, made of Russian flax, flax grown in Russia of the Motchenetz (water-retted) and Slanetz (dew retted ) varieties. The fabric was strong and absorbent. It was used for towels, sportswear and Russian cross stitch."@en . "Crash is a coarse fabric with a rough, irregular surface, made from thick, uneven yarns.
