A 1909 technical treatise by Roberts Beaumont of the University of Leeds on the finishing of woollen, worsted and union cloths after weaving. It covers scouring, milling (fulling) and felting theory, raising with teazles and card wire, cutting, pressing, and lustring, with descriptions of finishing machinery by makers such as Kilburn, Bailey and Tomlinson. Much of the work examines how yarn structure, fibre type and weave structure (plain, twills, sateens, backed and double cloths) affect shrinkage and raising, illustrated with photographs, micrographs, tables, weave plans and healding drafts. It ends with finishing routines for specific cloths and an index.
