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.£32.00 -

The discovery of spinning, now lost in man's early history, was a vital stage in the development of civilization. When the spinning wheel evolved it was of paramount importance in the progress of making textiles. This book is the most complete account yet published both of the history of the spinning wheel and spinning techniques. Its usefulness is threefold: as an account of the evolution of the spinning wheel since we first see it in the thirteenth century; technical, both for the construction and workings of spinning wheels as well as methods of how to spin; and, particularly through its illustrations, as a pioneer guide to the identification of different types of spinning wheels, useful for museum staff, the collector and the dealer in antique spinning wheels.The detailed and scholarly coverage has involved first~hand research in many countries. The opening section is concerned with the natural fibres and their preparation, whether of flax, cotton, wool or silk. Next Patricia Baines considers in turn spindle wheels and flyer spinning wheels. She then describes the accessories used with a spinning wheel: distaffs, ribbons and bands, seats, bobbin holders, reels and swifts. In succeeding chapters she deals with five principal types of spinning wheel, and some variations of special interest.
After a chapter on the spinning wheel in use, Mrs Baines gives step~by~step practical instruction for spinning yarn on a flyer spinning wheel. There is a basic method as well as various alternatives for making a woollen and worsted yarn; the short draw and the cotton draw; spinning flax and silk. Included are instructions for preparing fibres for spinning, plying, reeling, scouring and the design and purpose of yarn; also some notes on using the spindle wheel and the spindle. The book concludes with some valuable information on choosing and sorting wool, and on breeds of sheep.
Patricia Baines has produced one of the most comprehensive, useful and fully illustrated works on spinning wheels, spinners and spinning yet to appear

(Order reference 15170)With the textile industry able to make cloth more quickly and cheaply than ever before, why make your own? The answer is simple: nothing could be more different and unique than hand-made textiles. Weaving your own textiles for use in clothing or furnishings is a rewarding and satisfying activity - with the added benefit of knowing that the whole process can be done just as well by hand, using almost no energy but your own! This book looks at where different fibres come from, how to grow and harvest your own vegetable fibres, and how to prepare them for spinning. The principles of spindle and spinning wheel spinning are covered, along with home dyeing using natural dyestuffs, and hand weaving with or without a loom. Finally, there are a number of simple projects, such as a rug, shoulder bag, bed cover, and jumper and mitts to put your newly learnt skills to the test.

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.£75.00 -
