Two pages from a serialized dictionary of textile terms in Posselt's Textile Journal, continued from the June issue. It finishes the entry on wild silk, covering Tussah, Eria, Fagara and Yamamay silks with fibre drawings, then gives short entries from Willeying through Woof. These cover machines (willow, winder, wince), fabrics (Wilton carpet, wincey, winsey), dyes (woad, wongshy), wool and cotton varieties, and weaving terms such as witch, wiper and winder's knot.
