An encyclopedia entry describing spinning as the process of combining animal and vegetable fibres into continuous thread. It walks through mechanical preparation of wool and cotton (willowing, blowing, lap formation, carding, sliver, drawing and doubling) and contrasts this with primitive spindle, distaff and wheel spinning. It also covers silk throwing and the spinning of waste silk.
