A two-page dictionary entry on woolen manufacture from Knight's American Mechanical Dictionary. It lists the seventeen processes from sorting and scouring through carding, spinning, weaving, fulling and pressing, and adds short historical notes on sheep, wool spinning in antiquity, and the English wool trade. Engravings show a wool-duster, a wool-oiler for a carding machine, a wool-picking machine and a wool-washing machine.
