Two pages from a serialized illustrated textile dictionary, covering entries from SPIDER-WORK through SPOT-STITCH. Entries define spinning terms (spindle, spinning jenny, spinning mule, spinning wheel), loom and cloth terms (split, splitful, split-motion, splits), silk and cotton terms, hosiery and crochet terms. Illustrations show Arkwright's roller spinning frame, Crompton's mule-jenny, Hargreaves' spinning jenny, a modern worsted mule, a Saxony spinning wheel, and a diagram of splits woven with leno centre selvages. Brief historical notes on the invention of spinning machinery are included.
