Damaged Warping Reeds

One of the causes of defective threads in a warp is often found to be due to worn blades in the warping reed. The friction of the threads against the worn reed blades wears a groove in the blades, which tends to scrape and damage the threads. If the latest improved reed motions are not used, it will be advisable to examine the space and cross reeds occasionally, to see if there are any worn or grooved blades. Some reeds last longer than others, but it largely depends upon the yarns used in the warps. If the reeds are not worn very much, they can be repaired, otherwise they will have to be renewed. It is advisable to have all warping reeds nickel plated, so as to avoid rusting of the reed blades, which often causes soiled marks in white and light-colored warps. In winding, quilling, and doubling operations, yarns are often damaged from running through worn and grooved guides, caused by the friction of the threads. All guides should be examined frequently, and, if worn, removed at once.

Importance of the Lease

It is really interesting to know how a warp of thousands of threads, and any required length, is leased with a cross, being thus built and bound together so that each end can be separated from the others without tangHng. It would be impossible to manufacture the quantities of fabrics that are used, without the lease or cross cord, especially those made of silk or other fine yarns.

Treatment of White Yams

White and delicate shades of yarn, after being received from the bleachers and dyers, should be handled with the greatest of care. Every skein should be examined thoroughly and all soiled skeins laid aside to be used in other fabrics where the warp or filling covers the soiled spots, or when they cannot be seen in the pattern. The skeins should be carefully selected before they are given to the winder operative, and should be well covered and protected from dust and dirt. The operative should be supphed with every accessory to cleanliness, such as soap, towel, French
