| Weaving is a very ancient art and goes back to the dawn of human life on earth. It is built into the human nervous system; it is an urge in our brains and our fingers.Mary M. Atwater, "The Weaver", July-Aug, 1941, vol. VI #3, p. 13 |

Marks, R &
Robinson, A T C: Principles of Weaving The Textile Institute rep 1986 8vo pb 249pp, v v min bmps + wr to edges of cvrs o/w VG++ 460 gms (Order reference 13458). This book explains the principles. involved in the various mechanisms of a loom. It has been produced with the specific objective of complementinq the authors' previous work, 'Woven Cloth Construction'. It is difficult to keep a book on mechanisms up to date, and it is for this reason that the authors describe principles in preference to machine detail. This approach allows the reader to become aware of the fundamentals of various mechanisms found in a wide range of looms currently used in industry. Extensive use is made of line diagrams for ease of understanding and reproduction, particularly by students. An outline of the weaving process introduces the book, and this is followed by a study of the interrelationship between the movement and the timing of the primary motions of the loom. The main mechanism of looms are then dealt with in the following chapters, consideration being given to mechanical and mathematical theories, The principles of the newer methods of weft insertion receive a collective treatment, and this is followed by a chapter on cloth formation and warp and cloth control. The later chapters are devoted to stop motions, weft-patterning, weft replenishment, and loom drives. The book is intended to be of specific use to candidates studying for the examinations for Group 1 and Group 2 of the Associateship of the Textile Institute and also to those studying for TEC awards. |

Teal,
Peter: Hand Woolcombing and Spinning Blandford 1st 1976 8vo, ex libris plate and previous owner's name and address sticker to fep verso o/w M/F 440 gms (Order reference 4913). Here is a book for hand-spinners who aspire to a high standard of professional excellence in their work. The book rediscovers many of the old methods and applies modern technological principles to the forgotten trade of wool combing. It explains how to make the tools, how to prepare, dye and blend the fibre, and finally how to spin a worsted yarn of controlled quality and specification. The serious student of spinning will find vital information on how much twist to give a yarn for a stated end use; how much oil to apply to raw, scoured fibre; how to assess the suitability of a spinning-wheel for a specific type of yarn, and how to produce a a yarn to internationally-accepted standards. Peter Teal has more than ten years of self-directed apprenticeship to the trade of spinning-wheel making and worsted spinning, years in which he has carried out exhaustive researches into methods of making the tools and into the reasons for differing designs, often marrying tradition and technology. The author has also applied his many years' experience as a photo-journalist in the commercial textile industry to provide simple, easy-to-follow instruction on the processes by which he has achieved the outstanding quality of his own spun yarns. The wool-combs, jigs, pad, diz, spinning-wheels, scales, etc., illustrated were all made by him in his workshop, powered, characteristically, by a 14-foot diameter water wheel. |
