Selected pages from Alexander Peddie's 1817 Glasgow manual for linen manufacturers, weavers and warpers. The surviving section covers household customary fancy weaving: how to read and draw drafts and cordings, and how to set up treadles, marches, long and short marches, and the back harness. It treats tweels (regular and broken), tweeled stripes, dimity cord, damask tweel, and multi-leaf mountings from 4 to 16 leaves. It also covers design paper, reading a design onto the draught, the draw loom, and two-colour carpets and bed-covers. Most pages are numbered drafts, cording grids and engraved plates.
