Silk throwing is a process whereby silk which has previously been reeled into skeins is cleaned, twisted and wound onto bobbins. Informally, silk throwing refers the process as a whole: reeling, throwing, and doubling. This vintage book contains a detailed guide to the process, explaining the steps and giving simple instructions for those with a practical interest in the subject. Contents include: "Principles Underlying Silk Throwing: Its Various Processes until Final Product is Obtained", "Counts of Silk Yarn: The Legal; Denier; The Dram System; Other Systems of Deniers, etc.", "Counts of Silk Yarn", "Throwing", "What Silk to Use", "Testing Raw Silk", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.
