Excerpt from Principles of Woollen Spinning
The enormous extent and great diversity of the woollen trade make it quite impossible for any one man to be thoroughly acquainted with all its branches. For this simple reason it is impossible for any book to treat in detail of every feature of the trade. Any writer who attempted such a task would have to 'travel widely. He would spend his life collecting information, and at the end he would be so conscious of the magnitude of the task, that it would probably be left incomplete.
This is my only excuse for publishing the information which has come under my own immediate observation in the last few years. I am well aware that specialists will be able to point to omissions, but particulars regarding many branches of the woollen trade are so scarce in literature that a demand may well exist for such a work as this.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, part of a series on the principles of textile spinning, focuses on the history of woolen spinning from its origins to the author's contemporary era. The author argues that in the past few hundred years, the woolen industry has seen significant changes in how wool fibers are prepared for spinning. The industry has moved away from hand labor toward the use of machines and from a focus on spindle drafting to roller drafting. Against the backdrop of the overall history of wool production and the broader social changes occurring at the time, the author presents the tools, machinery, and techniques used to prepare, card, and spin wool for weaving. Innovations from the 18th century onwardâ"including the spinning jenny, the mule, and the roller cardâ"are described in detail, and the author demonstrates how the textile industry's transformation parallels the rise of the Industrial Revolution. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9780282711412_0
