A short dictionary entry from Knight's American Mechanical Dictionary describing yarn-printing machines that print color onto warps before weaving. It explains the use for making stripes in cheap goods such as common carpets and for cheap figured tapestry carpet, and describes two machines: one holding skeins on wire netting, and one using fluted or engraved rollers. A patent (83,103) for color-feeding roll control is mentioned.
