Excerpt: ...the rollers in and weight them, rest on the segments and bring up the lifters till the nearest will admit one thickness of paper between it and the tubes (the bowl must be on the highest part of the cam); move the small slides on the lifters till each will admit one thickness of paper like the first, and set them so that the rollers will touch segment at 6f. Fluted Top Detaching Rollers should be set with the greatest care so that the flutes be parallel in the flutes of bottom roller, and quite clear from leather roller. Top Combs. Set these to 19's gauge from segment of cylinder, and to 14's angle of top comb gauge, put on the sliver plate and gear up all the draw box, coiler and wood rollers, set the doffer combs and gear up the doffer shaft. Note.--Be sure that all screws, etc., are well screwed up and all bearings are well oiled, and the cams well greased, and mind that the combs do not get damaged (the above is for cotton 1 to 1 inch staple.) For American Cotton f inch staple, the distance between flutes of feed and detaching rollers is 1 inches, and from flutes of detaching roller to front edge of cushion plate 1 inch, and from segment to detaching roller f inch. Space Required for a Comber of 6 Heads. 3-4 Space Required for a Comber of 8 Heads. 3-4 CM 2-11" 2-11' THE DRAWING FRAME. At the drawing frame a number of ends, say six or eight, are put up together, and then doubled and drawn through the rollers, in order to equalise the sliver, and to straighten and lay the fibres parallel and in a longitudinal direction. Upon a proper arrangement of the drawing and doubling the particular quality of the yarn in a great measure depends. By passing the cotton between two pairs of rollers, and making the front ones revolve faster...

For spinners and weavers alike! Get in-depth information on fiber properties and color choices, as well as beautifully photographed samples. Spin to Weave is not simply a how-to-spin book, but a how-to-spin-exactly-what-you-want book. Weavers who spin their own yarns have the ability to choose fiber type, method of twist insertion (woolen, worsted), twist amount and/or direction, finishing methods, and grist. Author Sara Lamb focuses on the process of spinning for specific results, providing detailed instructions, a sampling of projects, variations, and a gallery of pieces by other spinners. Sara takes the reader to the very source of woven fabric--introducing the thought processes and concepts related to choosing fibers and how to spin them with finished fabric in mind.

The art of cotton spinning has become more sophisticated since Harry and Olive Linder first set out to disprove the myth that cotton was more difficult to spin than any other fiber. When the Linders first self-published Handspinning Cotton in 1977, there were very few spinners spinning cotton; it was an almost forgotten art.Handspinning Cotton has been out-of-print since 1995 and has been sorely missed. Currently, there is no single spinning book devoted solely to cotton fiber and the unique techniques for spinning it. The rights to the Linder's self-published book has remained in their family's hands since Harry and Olive's passing. As two of the Linder's first protégés, their daughters have asked us to update and republish this treasured book.It is our honor and privilege to try to do justice to the spirit of these cotton gurus who started a cotton-spinning revolution. While cotton spinning has grownup in the past 40 years, and there are many changes in how to approach cotton spinning, we have striven, in updating this book, to keep to the original spirit of Harry and Olive Linder's teaching. Their book is still a treasure and should stay intact for all future generations of cotton spinners.
