Speed-maker

Raschmacher referred to craftsmen well into the 19th century who produced a light twilled fabric , the so-called Rasch . It was mostly a lightly worked, coarse woolen fabric . A distinction was made between two types of Rasch depending on the preparation of the yarn :

1. Material quickly made from long-fiber combed wool
2. Cloth rash made of carded , short wool.

The following terms were also used:

• Kronrash
• Krumpel quickly
• Walkrash
• Satin quickly
• Fast food

The name is said to come from a corruption of the name of the French city of Arras ( Arras → Arrasch → Rasch ), where wool fabrics were first refined in this way.
