A short encyclopedia article on the American hosiery and knit goods industry circa 1906. It compares the speed of hand knitting with machine knitting and gives the size and location of the industry. It then describes how socks and stockings are machine-knitted, using a cuff machine, a Jacquard-controlled cylinder machine and a transfer cup. It ends with the preparation of lisle cotton yarn by combing, gassing and chemical treatment, and with dyeing and pressing.
