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 indistinctly 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. The coarsest type is called Russian crash. The fabric is sturdy and absorbent. Crash is very thick, strong but rough and very much absorbent.[1]
