This book, part of a series on the principles of textile spinning, focuses on the history of woolen spinning from its origins to the author's contemporary era. The author argues that in the past few hundred years, the woolen industry has seen significant changes in how wool fibers are prepared for spinning. The industry has moved away from hand labor toward the use of machines and from a focus on spindle drafting to roller drafting. Against the backdrop of the overall history of wool production and the broader social changes occurring at the time, the author presents the tools, machinery, and techniques used to prepare, card, and spin wool for weaving. Innovations from the 18th century onwardâ"including the spinning jenny, the mule, and the roller cardâ"are described in detail, and the author demonstrates how the textile industry's transformation parallels the rise of the Industrial Revolution.
