An encyclopedia article on weaving from the Encyclopaedia Perthensis, with an engraved plate of a loom, shuttles and the flying-shuttle mechanism. It defines weaving, describes the parts of the common weaver's loom, and explains the flying shuttle. It then gives reed-setting (caaming) rules and arithmetic for cotton and linen yarn counts, with notes on bed tick, damask, diaper and common tweels. It closes with cross-references for wool, silk and tapestry weaving.
