double knot. Each has its good qualities, but under different conditions. Clinton.

I have found that a single knot harness will last almost as long as a double knot harness, that is, a single knot usually lasts from five to eight years, and a double knot from five to ten years, if they are treated with a good varnish. Henry Owen.

Effect of Moisture in Yarn

We are running 120 looms on worsted and cotton worsted goods, buying all the yarn required and have difficulty with the variation in the weight of the goods, especially the woven weight per yard. For example, one standard grade of our worsted goods is made with 2/30 warp and filling. Two months ago this fabric weighed about 16 ounces per yard from the loom and finished about 14 1/2 ounces without any change in length. Today we are making the same fabric from a different lot of 2/30 yarn bought from the same spinner, and the goods average about 17 ounces per yard from the loom and, curiously, finish about 14 1/2 ounces with no change of length, the same as with the old lot of yarn. Following are the particulars of two average pieces made from different lots of yarn.

Old lot, woven 45 yards, 16 ounces.

Finished 45 yards. 14 4/10 ounces.

New lot, woven 48 yards, 17 i/io ounces.

Finished 48 yards, 14 4/10 ounces.

At present we are weaving about 2,500 yards of this style per week. What is the reason for this variation in the woven weight? Neither the fabric nor the process of finishing has been changed. Perplexed Weaver (500).
