Crolle - Crull - Crullen - Curlen are Middle English words that appear in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales written c. 1386 -
"And his lokkes buth noght so crolle..." and a young Squier with locks as "crulle as they were laid in presse."

In Danish, krolle; Swedish, krulla; French, s'enrouler; German, rolle
"To form into coils or ringlets. Twist."

"Crolle" was used in reference to damascus barrels in Liege and England by at least the 1880s.
