Article by Edmund A. Lucey on finishing handwoven cloth at home. It opens with reasons weavers give for weaving less (preparation time, yarn cost, lack of finishing knowledge), then explains the purposes of finishing and how it differs from mill finishing. It gives home procedures for cotton, linen, wool and worsted: brushing, mending, scouring, shrinking, bleaching, drying and pressing, and the start of a discussion of fulling. The scan includes the continuation pages with a closing portion of an unrelated essay on quality versus charity in handweaving and an advertisement for a braided rug book.
