First published in 1926, "e;Weaving Patterns of Yesterday and Today"e; is a comprehensive handbook on the textile industry, dealing with every aspect from the basic materials and tools to bleaching, finishing, and beyond. Although old, this volume contains a wealth of timeless information that will appeal with a practical interest in the subject, and it is not to be missed by readers interested in the history and development of textile production. Contents include: "e;Cotton"e;, "e;Cotton Spinning"e;, "e;Flax"e;, "e;Miscellaneous Vegetable"e;, "e;Silk"e;, "e;Rayson (Artificial Silk)"e;, "e;Wool Spinning"e;, "e;Weaving"e;, "e;Standard Types of Weave"e;, "e;Knitted Fabrics"e;, "e;Lace Net"e;, "e;Carpets"e;, "e;Glossary of Fabrics"e;, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on textiles and weaving.
