[Ansteorra] Turbin

[Elizabeth Crouchet]

Cotton would have been as readily available if not more so in the Arabic
countries, than linen was.

Cotton is often less expensive these days, and even better, cotton bubble
guaze makes a great turbin as it kinda sticks to itself.

try 20 inches wide and 12 feet long at least.

See Sir Asad's notes as well.

good luck!
