A 1949 Charles T. Branford Co. reprint of the 1817 Utica handbook by J. & R. Bronson on domestic weaving and dyeing of cotton and woollen goods. It covers looms and utensils, yarn tables and calculations for plaids, checks and shirting, and the preparation of yarn (sizing, warping, beaming, drawing in), followed by about 30+ numbered weaving drafts with cording and treading directions for ticking, bird's eye, diaper, dimity, coverlets, carpet and broad cloth. The second half gives numbered dye recipes for cotton, linen and wool (blue, green, yellow, black, drab, crimson and others), notes on dyestuffs, and miscellaneous household receipts.
