Bolivia Cloth: Analysis of Weave and Finish
Retlaw · Textile World Journal, October 14, 1916
Article · 2 pages · weaving drafts
A 1916 Textile World Journal article by 'Retlaw' analyzing Bolivia cloth, a lustrous worsted fabric resembling chinchilla with a small curled pile. It covers warp and filling yarns, sizing and beaming, an 18-harness straight draft, the compound weave (3-harness twill foundation plus a cut-float pile filling), and the finishing sequence of scouring, dyeing, gigging, whipping, curling and shearing. It also gives a cost breakdown and suggestions for colored or cotton-warp variations.
