About this book
Theory of Silk Weaving is by Arnold Wolfensberger, a treatise on the construction and application of weaves and the decomposition and calculation of broad and narrow, plain, novelty and Jacquard silk fabrics. The text divides the treatise into three principal parts: drawing-in the warp in the harness, the weaves and their application, and decomposition or analysis of the cloth. The revised and enlarged edition adds Jacquard weaves, box loom weaves including crepes, and cost calculations for plain and fancy weaves.
Drawing-in is described as the operation preceding the weaving, by which all the warp-threads are drawn through the heddles of the harness, with straight draws, skip draws, point draws and section draws as the kinds. For the dents required for the width of the cloth, the text says to multiply the dents per one inch with the width, adding a certain allowance for shrinkage.
