A late-19th-century American manual on designing and weaving plain and fancy woolen cloths (cassimeres, coatings, beavers, doeskins) on cam and harness looms. Twelve chapters cover pattern taste, color arrangement, picking out (drafting from a sample), plain cloth, double pick and basket weaves, twills, diagonal cords, ribs, miscellaneous weaves, combined weaves, and tables and rules for yarn calculations. Numbered weaves are shown as drawdown grids with working rules for warp, reed, picks per inch, and finishing, followed by large plates of pickouts with drawing-in drafts for up to 48 harnesses. Advertisements for wool merchants and a textile journal appear at the front and back.
