mystery material of the day

[frualeydis]

An example of gothic/german hand writing from 1603.



The first words are fiolenn bruun (purple, the modern colour, not royal purple), then two mystery words, which (probably) is the material, followed by kiortil (gown).

Is there a Swedish equivalent for rash (Arras) fabric - or sheared rash? But honestly I think I might see Swartz Katz - could it be furred with black cat fur?
