Tulle (Tull). [Properly point de tulle, a fine net, so called from the town of that name, capital of the department of Correz, France] Silk bob-binet; a plain, fine silk net, used for women's veils and bonnets, sometimes ornamented with dots like blonde lace, but more commonly without pattern. Machinery for the manufacture of tulle was invented about the year 1800, and was copied after the bobbinet invention. At first it was termed tulle simple et double; in 1825, tulle bobine grenadine; next it was known as zephyr, and finally as illusion. The Jacquard system has been very suc-cessfuly adapted to the manufacture of tulle. Blonde is a narrow tulle adapted for quillings. [See Bobbinet]
