Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book steers you through the production of one of the world's most ubiquitous household items: thread. Following the author's journey through a late-19th century thread factory, this book delves into the details of how Sea Island cotton was transformed into thread. The author, then president of the Willimantic Linen Company, provides a comprehensive account of the process, from the initial stages of separating cotton from its seeds to the final steps of packaging thread for retail. Along the way, he illuminates the importance of skilled workers who operated the machines that straightened fibers, removed imperfections, twisted strands, and wound them onto spools.
