"Tapestry" is not tapestry at all but a woven fabric (they had marketing 'spin' even in the 30's). Katherine's guess when I spoke to her yesterday - as a weaver of upholstery fabrics, with no specialist knowledge concerning these specific applications as far as I'm aware - was that "Tapestry" is woven from worsted wool. The term 'worsted' refers to the method by which the wool is spun.
