John Murphy's treatise on hand-loom weaving and the mounting of looms for cotton, linen, silk and wool fabrics, in the seventh edition, revised and enlarged. It covers loom mountings, draughts and cordings, tweeling (twills and satin weaves), lined work, dornic and diaper, double cloth, corduroys and velvets, gauze, nets, lappets, spotting, seeding and flushing, and the draw loom with harness work, design paper and colours. The final third consists of calculations and tables for yarn numbers, reed setts, warp and weft quantities and yarn prices, followed by an index. Hundreds of pages carry numbered weaving drafts and engraved plates.
