Nap (textile)
Primarily, nap is the raised (fuzzy) surface on certain kinds of cloth, such as velvet. Nap can refer additionally to other surfaces that look like the surface of a napped cloth, such as the surface of a felt or beaver hat.
Starting around the 14th century, the word referred originally to the roughness of woven cloth before it was sheared.〔"Nap". ''The Oxford English Dictionary''. 2nd ed. 1989.〕 When cloth, especially woollen cloth, is woven, the surface of the cloth is not smooth, and this roughness is the nap. Generally the cloth is then 'sheared' to create an even surface, and the nap is thus removed. A person who trimmed the surface of cloth with shears to remove any excess nap was known as a shearman.
==Piled nap==
Since the 15th century, the term nap generally refers to a special pile given to the cloth.〔 The term ''pile'' refers to raised fibres that are there on purpose, rather than as a by-product of producing the cloth.〔"Pile". ''The Oxford English Dictionary''. 2nd ed. 1989.〕 In this case, the nap is woven into the cloth, often by weaving loops into the fabric, which can then be cut or left intact. Carpets, rugs, velvet, velour, and velveteen, are made by interlacing a secondary yarn through woven cloth, creating a nap or pile.
