A 1922 revised edition of J. A. Hunter's 'Wool: From the Raw Material to the Finished Product', part of Pitman's Common Commodities and Industries series. It follows wool from sheep breeds and fleece types through marketing, scouring, combing, spinning (worsted and woollen), cloth making and finishing, to textile testing, finance, trade combinations, by-products, industry workforce, and wool in the First World War. Illustrated with photographs of flocks, mills, scouring, spinning mules and weaving sheds, plus flow diagrams, and a glossary; the book is an industrial overview rather than a weaving manual.
