The tenth treatise from Johann Samuel Halle's Werkstäte der heutigen Künste (1761) describes the textile trades of 18th-century Germany. It covers the cotton manufacture (cleaning and carding, spinning on the Swiss wheel, the cotton loom and its parts, sizing the warp, bleaching, and block printing of calico) and the linen manufacture (flax preparation, spinning, plain and patterned linen and damask weaving, bleaching, dyeing of yarn). Later sections treat sewing and embroidery, laundering, bobbin lace making, kinds of lace and linen, and tables of weights and measures in various cities. There is an engraved frontispiece of a weaving workshop and a plate of equipment, but no weaving drafts.
