textile flake
Strange word, I guess the best approach here would be a literal translation, or ask for an explanation.
Note from asker:
| Thanks for your input - the literal translation was best, although the client preferred "flock" instead of "flake" |

Note from asker:
| "textile flocking" doesn't seem at all related, though. |
| Flocking as suggested (for texturing) wasn't meant - Although flock/fluff added later put me on the right track including the query to the client in this case, so thank you for your input! |
