Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Yorkshire Woollen and Worsted Industries, From the Earliest Times Up to the Industrial Revolution, Vol. 1 The technologist who looks to these pages for new informa tion concerning the progress of textile skill and methods will be disappointed. Excepting in Chapters VIII and X, I have avoided making any detailed description of textile processes, for such a task can be accomplished successfully only by one versed thoroughly in the practices surrounding the making of cloth. L have dealt rather with the weaver than with weaving with textile workers rather than with technology. Still, it was impossible to neglect entirely the technical side of the story, and the general reader who wishes to understand the difference between woollens and worsteds, or to know the character of the various textile processes, is recommended to glance first at the treatment of these topics on pp. 25943 and 332-44.
