Text Appearing Before Image:
sses are concerned, but inobtaining and having made exactly in the right waythe right yarns from the right quahty of cotton. The warp for weaving velvet and kindred fabrics,as we have seen, is spun from a superior quality ofAmerican or Egyptian cotton, and the yarn from whichthe warp is made must be of the best obtainable varietyof cotton and yarn. In the lighter and medium qualitiesand weights of velvets the warp will very frequently befound to be of single yam, spun on the ring spinningframe, as, of the quality used, this will be strong enoughup to quite moderate weights, but as the cloth comesto be made heavier and heavier the limit of the weavingstrength of the yam is reached, and recourse must behad to what is technically termed two-fold warp,which means that each end or thread of the warp ismade from two ends of yarn twisted together, and, inthis case, very frequently mule spun yarn is used, theresultant yarn being far more than doubled in strength,and is more level and regular.

Thistwo-fold warp should be the standard specification forall kinds of velvet where sound wearing qualities arerequired. The final consumer should be educated upto a point where ultimately she will recognize that thesine qua non of a good wearing velvet is that it shouldbe built up on a perfect double warp.

This final twistingis invariably done the reverse way to the twisting inthe spinning of the single yarn, so as to make a smoothand even yarn, as in reversing the twisting the turns inthe yarn accommodate themselves and help to coilautomatically round each other. These doubled yarnsare made from
