Flannel
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A one-page encyclopedia entry on flannel, defined as a light, porous woollen stuff woven on a loom with two treddles, similar to baize. Most of the text is a health argument for wearing flannel next to the skin, covering who benefits (older people, those with gout, rheumatism or colds) and who should avoid it (those prone to profuse perspiration or skin eruptions). It gives almost no technical weaving detail beyond the opening definition.
