Two journal pages from a serial glossary of textile industry terms, covering entries from Waste-duster through Weaving. Entries define terms such as water-frame (Arkwright's spinning frame), watering (watered silk finishing), waterproofing, wax in warp sizing, weave, weaver's knot and weaving, with a short historical note on the origins of weaving. Illustrations show a waste duster, an Arkwright water-frame and watered silk.
