Summary "Cotton Weaving and Designing" by John T. Taylor is a technical manual written in the early 20th century. This publication offers a comprehensive examination of the processes involved in cotton weaving, including detailed methodologies for preparing yarn, the operation of various looms, and the principles of fabric design. Targeted towards students and professionals in the textile industry, the book serves as both an instructional guide and a reference for the latest advancements in weaving technology. At the start of "Cotton Weaving and Designing," the text outlines the foundational processes required for yarn preparation before it is woven into fabric. Taylor discusses the stages involved in producing grey, mono-coloured, and multi-coloured warps, including winding, warping, sizing, and looming. The opening portion emphasizes the significance of understanding the different systems of preparation, which are tailored to meet specific fabric needs. Additionally, the complexities of loom operations and machine configurations are introduced, setting the stage for more intricate discussions about weaving techniques in subsequent chapters.
