Fabrics and furs
Woodblock printing of fabric became more common by the century's end, although its prevalence remains uncertain due to artistic challenges in depicting patterns.
Embroidery with wool, silk, or gold thread was a popular decorative choice, especially among the wealthy.
Edward III established an embroidery workshop in the Tower of London, producing elaborate robes like those worn by him and Queen in 1351, featuring red velvet adorned with silver clouds and eagles made of pearl and gold, each holding a Garter bearing the motto "hony soyt qui mal y pense."
