It is $16.00 per Ib., while It lasts, and only 2 to 3 lbs. left. We have other substitutes, but used this mohair and alpaca blend as we wanted to make a rich fabric for this coat. The 3/14's woolen spun yarn has 1400 yards per 1b. It comes on about 15 oz. cones, and we have a special price of $12.00 per Ib. on all of the colors of Bristol Wool. 1 believe that when the knitting firm bad it, it sold for $48.00 per Ib. This yarn is a very nice, soft yarn, as it is a woolen spun yarn, and not a worsted spun yarn. COST _OF THE FABRI T wool has a great deal of elasticity. We wove 7-1/3 yards for our sample, measured on the loom. When we tool ‘it off the loom, it measured 6 yards and 24". It took 3 lbs. 8 oz. of each of the two colors of this wool for our 15 yard warp. At a cost of $12.00 per 1b., it comes to $84.00, or the cost per yard of warp comes to $5.60 per yard. In ovr 7-1/3 yards of woven fabric on the loom, it took 2 lbs. of the loop wool with gold. It took 1 1b. 3 oz. of the natural mohair & alpaca blend. These two at $16.00 per Ib. came to $51.00, And the 2/2/30 spun silk in lavender blue, it took 1 Ib. 5-1/2 oz. at $48.00 per 1b. or the silk cost of weft was $64.50.

We had about 40 to 50 colors in this, but It is now down to about 20 colors. We repeated the threading draft 3 times, and each repeat of pattern was threaded with each of the 3 colors.

Number 8, APRIL, 1995: End did not use the first 4 treadles of the tie-up on this sample. We did another Imitation Damask in January, and on that sample, all 12 treadles were required. However, this sample only requires 8 readies, as per the treadling I have given. This Ramie is a wonderful substitute for linen. It is about 1/2 price of the same size in linen, and is excellent for table-cloths, fine lace- weaves, napkins, ete. This used to be a very common ‘warp thread for these fine weight fabrics. The nice thing about ramie is that it won't shrink, won't stretch, resists rot and mildew, and is a very, very, strong fiber. It fs a natural fiber, and fabrics of this type, has been. found in the &gyptian Mummies, 3 or 4,000 years old, still in perfect condition. We have also; 11 colors in the size 20/3, and it has 2,000 yards per 1b. We also have about 15 to 20 colors in the size 16/2, and it has 2400 yards per Ib. And, We have in stock also, a size 20/9 ply Ramie Rug Warp, whiter than most linens, with 650 yards per Ib., at $12.00 per lb. So pleased to have this at a wonderful price. The 4 ply metallic weft thread is a 1/69 supported gold, which we had 4 plied, at an unbelievable price of $12.00 per Ib. We have about 25 Ibs. of this. This Is a tremendous buy, as we were just offered some more of similiar metallics, and the price they offered it to us wes $11.75 per lb., and we had to take many other metallics we did not like to get this price. We are just ordering it today, so there will be a big jump in the price of some of our metallics in ‘the future. Of course, you know there is very little elasticity in this metallic yarn, so you can be sure of practically no shrinking, when you wash a fabric of this type. Start One thing we found in the weaving was that we put some tissue paper on the bobbom of our boat shuttles, so that when the bobbin of metallic unwinds, it does not continue to unwind, but the drag by the tissue paper stops the bobbin from unwinding. This results in a lot less problems of the unwound metallic thread coming off the ends of the bobbins, and wrapping around the metal pirn. | In other words, you, want to keep it under control at all time COST _OF THE FABRIC: (We did a TS yard warp, 40" wide, at 32 e.p.i.
