Show HOMESPUN PASSE Woolen homespun was much worn In the early days of our Republic and played a very Important part In keeping the nation clothed and warm, says Pathfinder Magazine. But homespun Is practically unknown un-known now. Today most of our fine wool adapted to the making of choice woolen and worsted yarns goes Into the different fine-textured goods, such as suiting, dress goods, etc. Medium wools, which are coarser than the fine wools, are used principally in the manufacture of woven fabrics of nearly all descriptions, de-scriptions, being especially well adapted for blankets, tweeds and flannels, suitings, and very choice knitting yarns. |
