A one-page French encyclopedia entry on wool (laine) from the Nouveau Larousse Illustré. It gives the definition and figurative, botanical, chemical and trade senses, with many commercial wool grades and related materials (artificial wool, wood wool, mineral wool). The encyclopedic section covers fibre structure, staple types, qualities and uses. A plate of ten engravings shows wool processing from washing and shearing to carding, combing, drawing and spinning.
