A two-page encyclopedia entry on "fil de laine floche," a soft, loosely twisted worsted yarn made from long combed wool for needlepoint tapestry and fine knitwear. It traces the history of the yarn in France (from the older fil d'Estain to the first French production in the 1820s-1830s) and compares French merino-cross yarns with those of Berlin. It also advises on choosing fleeces and preparing combed wool (washing, steaming, pressing, light beating) before spinning.
