As Wigan was a mill town I would guess the answer is RAG.
I would have said rugs.
From the 15th to 17th Centuries Wigan specialised in
woollen bedding textiles produced in cottage hand-loom
shops. “England Described” of 1788 stated that Wigan was
“formerly famous for the manufacture of coverlets, rugs,
blankets and bed ticks.
