An illustrated article profiling Sugar River Fabrics, Inc., a small woolen weaving business in North Newport, New Hampshire, founded in 1947 in a former scythe and hoe shop. It follows the production process from raw wool blending, carding and spinning on the mule through warping, drawing-in and weaving on wide hand-operated throw-shuttle looms with up to twelve harnesses. It also covers the finished tweeds and twills, their weights and markets, and the sale of natural undyed yarns to handweavers.
