About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1916 edition. Excerpt: ...of our industry forbids, but it is wonderful to consider that each problem had been worked out and buried under the sands of Pachacainac centuries before the first white man set foot on the shores of Peru. It must ever be a regret to everyone who looks upon certain textiles as a high form of art that a race of such consummate craftsmen should have left no heritage of skill to their descendants. GLOSSARY OF TEXTILE TERMS. Warp: The threads which run lengthwise in the fabric. They are the ones first placed in the loom. Weft: The yarn laced into the warp by the spindle or bobbin. Shed: The space formed by separating the warps so as to insert weft in desired order. Heald rod: A stick around which a string is looped in such a manner as to attach it loosely to every other warp. Lifting this stick is one method for forming a shed. Bobbin: A slender stick of wood pointed at one end, containing weft yarn and used as a wefting implement in figured tapestry and bobbinweaving. Banded and tri-part spindles: Used in spinning, and as wefting implements in fabrics other than figured tapestry and bobbin-weaving. Weave dagger: Thin, edged piece of polished wood used for beating up in bobbin and tapestry weaving; also to form short sheds. Weave sword: Large, heavy piece of polished wood, drawn to a double edge. Used to beat up weft in weaves other than tapestry and bobbinweave. Also used to form alternating sheds in looms containing single heald rod. Beating up: Act of forcing last length of weft delivered by spindle or bobbin into cross of warps, and up against portion of fabric already woven. This portion is referred to as fell of cloth; that is, that part of a partially woven fabric already finished. Pick, weft yarn: to pick, to insert weft....
