A practical 1765 Virginia pamphlet by John Wily for farmers and household manufacturers. It covers sheep breeding and care, sorting, washing, carding and spinning wool, weaving woolen and worsted cloths (serge, camelot, shalloon), and fulling, dyeing, shearing and pressing. It then turns to flax: growing, retting, breaking, swingling, heckling, spinning, yarn calculations for warping, weaving and bleaching linen, with directions for building the needed tools and equipment.
