Installment of E. A. Posselt's alphabetical dictionary of textile terms, running from 'Web' through 'Wild Sheep', printed in Posselt's Textile Journal, June 1914. Entries define weaving, spinning, finishing, knitting and fibre terms such as weft, whipcord, whip-roll, whip-thread (gauze/leno), weighted silk, weld, wet spinning, and wheat starch. Illustrations show weighted silk skeins and several wild sheep (Argali, Big Horn, Audad). Two short unrelated articles on aniline black and cresols fill space at the end.
