A six-page 1872 article on the American woolen industry from the book Great Industries of the United States. It describes the three main classes of wool (felting, combing, and wild or hairy), fleece sorting, dyeing, carding, spinning, weaving, fulling, teazling, and shearing for broadcloth, and the shorter processes for flannels, blankets, and tweeds. It also covers worsted manufacture and the long-wool interest, and credits Erastus Bigelow's patents for looms, especially the Brussels carpet loom.
