First published in 1926, "Weaving Patterns of Yesterday and Today" 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: "Cotton", "Cotton
Spinning", "Flax", "Miscellaneous Vegetable", "Silk", "Rayson
(Artificial Silk)", "Wool Spinning", "Weaving", "Standard Types of
Weave", "Knitted Fabrics", "Lace Net", "Carpets", "Glossary of Fabrics",
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.
