The author, then president of the Willimantic Linen Company, provides a comprehensive account of the process, from the initial stages of separating cotton from its seeds to the final steps of packaging thread for retail. Along the way, he illuminates the importance of skilled workers who operated the machines that straightened fibers, removed imperfections, twisted strands, and wound them onto spools. His emphasis on the value of education and attention to detail reveals that the excellence of Willimantic thread was a testament to the knowledge and expertise of its workers.
