  • Paper 2: the Woollen Cloth Industry in the Lim Valley © Richard Bull & Lyme Regis Museum Revised with Extra Images July 2015
    Industrial Lyme - Paper 2: The Woollen Cloth Industry in the Lim Valley © Richard Bull & Lyme Regis Museum Revised with extra images July 2015 Like all research, this is on-going. If you know more, or are descended from any of the families involved, please get in touch with the author via Lyme Regis Museum. Summary Woollen cloth has been made in the Lim Valley from at least medieval times, but this paper is more about the factories in Lyme Regis and Uplyme that made high-quality West of England coat cloths. The factories in Lyme were bankrupt in 1847, leaving the Uplyme factory to soldier on against Yorkshire competition until it was destroyed by fire in 1866, whilst being modernised. In Lyme the factories were started up again in the 1850s to make silk thread and hemp twine, but only for a short period; these are the subjects of other papers in this series. This paper contains: the background to the trade, the history of the factories and a walking trail to see the mills. Cloth making – the essential process in a nutshell Sheep fleeces are packed on the farm into big canvas bags called woolsacks. At the factory the fleeces are scoured (washed) to remove lanolin (wool- grease), dirt and adhering vegetable material. Then the fleeces are scribbled (torn up into pieces), combed and carded to produce rovings, long strips of wool ready for spinning. Washed and combed fleece being fed into a carding machine at Coldharbour Mill, Uffculme, Devon Industrial Lyme Paper 2 – The Woollen Cloth Industry © R Bull & Lyme Regis Museum 1 Spinning means to draw out and twist - and by this process the scales of the individual wool fibres lock together to produce a thread known as a single.

  • Textiles Under Mughals
    Chapter V Textiles under Mughals- The advent of the Mughal dynasty gave an undeniable boost to production of the up-market textile, as to other craft. Textiles are singled out for mentioned by Abul Fazl, the minister and biographer of Akbar (1556-1605), in his Ain-i-Akbari, compile in the 1590‟s as a subject in which the emperor took particular interest. Akbar favoured woollen garment – the chosen wear of Sufis (Muslim mystics) – „from his indifference to everything that is worldly‟ in preference to the richer stuffs. His penchant for wool is also indicated by the steps he took to improve shawl manufacture; especially in the relation to dyes and width of fabric.1 Ain-i- Akbari goes into fascinating details on the manner of classifying garments in the imperial wardrobe (toshkhana). The textiles were arranged according to the date of entry which was recorded, sometime with other information, on a label tacked on to the piece (practice which survived in provision toshkhana into the 20th century). Price, colour and weight were also taken into account. Within these boundaries, textile took precedence according to the nature of the day, astrologically auspicious or otherwise on which they were received. A further refinement took into account the colours, of which thirty five are listed in the order of precedence. Abul Fazl further records that imperial workshops had been set up in the cities of Lahore, Agra, Fatehpur Sikri and Ahmedabad, where the best of the local craftsmen were requisitioned to supply the needs of the court.2 Persian masters were brought in to teach improved techniques.

  • A Clinical Study Comparing Helicoll with Scarlet Red & Opsite in The
    A Clinical Study Comparing Helicoll with Scarlet Red & Opsite in the Treatment of Split Thickness Skin Graft Donor Site Article Type: Manuscript Institution where the Clinical Study was performed: Shriners Burn Hospital 815 Market Street, Galveston, TX 77550-2725 Authors: Prema Dhanraj, MD; Iman AL-Haj, MD,FRCS; David Chinkes, PhD; Steven March, RN,BS; David Herndon, MD,FACS; Robert McCauley, MD Abstract: Split thickness skin graft (STSG) is a key method in the reconstructive ladder for covering skin defects utilized widely by surgeons from all specialties. The donor site is often a source of delayed healing, associated with considerable pain and discomfort even more than the recipient wound. Various methods are used for dressing of split thickness skin graft donor sites, unfortunately many of these techniques have the potential for contributing to pain, delayed healing, interference with ambulation and scarring. The aim of this prospective randomized controlled study was to compare Helicoll®, a type I pure collagen dressing, to Opsite® dressing and to Scarlet Red® dressing in the treatment of standardized split thickness skin graft donor sites. Thirty patients, over a 3-month period, underwent various reconstructive procedures, necessitating the use of split thickness skin grafts. Analysis of data: donor site pain, healing time of the donor site, initial absorption of the applied dressing and rate of infection with the three different dressings form the basis of this paper. Results: Patients in the Helicoll group reported significantly less pain and required no dressing change. The infection rate of the donor site in this group was less when compared with the Opsite or the Scarlet red groups.

  • INDIAN TRADE BLANKETS in the PACIFIC NORTHWEST History and Symbolism of a Unique North American Tradition by W
    WashingtonHistory.org INDIAN TRADE BLANKETS IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST History and Symbolism of a Unique North American Tradition By W. R. Swagerty COLUMBIA The Magazine of Northwest History, Summer 2002: Vol. 16, No. 2 To lovers of the picturesque it is a source of keen regret that the Blanket Indian, the most striking and conspicuous figure this country has ever produced, is passing. And by this I mean the Indian who formerly wore a red blanket, a beaded buckskin shirt and leggins, a gorgeous war bonnet, and who painted his face, his hands and his horse in a manner wonderful to behold. Block Quote —G. O. Shields from Blanket Indians of the Northwest, 1921 A veteran of the Indian wars, Shields, like many of his contemporaries, was convinced that the American Indian was a "vanishing race," a victim of "Progress" and the inevitable sweep of Western civilization over a once-proud people now reservation-bound and without the warrior heroes of yesteryear. Red Cloud, Sitting Bull, American Horse, Geronimo, and Chief JosePh— "The Noblest Roman of Them All"—were all gone, rePlaced by a generation of hunters-turned- farmers, and Poor ones at that. Had Shields looked carefully he would have seen many "blanket Indians" at powwows, giveaways, potlatches, funerals, saints' days, parades, rodeos, and in more traditional households on and off reservations. Writing in 1933, Luther Standing Bear, a notable Sioux, reminisced in his autobiography, Land of the Spotted Eagle: Many an Indian has accomplished his own personal salvation by "going back to the blanket." The Indian blanket or buffalo robe, a true American garment and worn with the significance of language; covered beneath it, is the prototype of the American Indian, one of the bravest attempts ever made by man on this continent to rise to the heights of true humanity.

As studies have recently shown, a critical factor driving trade in this zone was local demand for foreign cloth; from the 1830s the majority of it was industrially made coarse cotton sheeting from Europe and America, which largely displaced the handwoven Indian originals. Employing archival, object, image and field research, this article demonstrates that until 1885 luxury textiles were as important to economic and social life in central eastern Africa, textiles known to the Swahili as ‘cloths with names’.

  • Chapter 4: History of the Industrial Stroud Valleys
    DRAFT CONSERVATION AREA STATEMENT – INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE CONSERVATION AREA: VOLUME 1 - HISTORY OF THE INDUSTRIAL STROUD VALLEYS - Industry has been a part of our local environment for a thousand years, but it is the Stroud Valleys’ legacy as one of the country’s earliest cloth-making areas that has made it unique. It is a legacy which can be traced back at least as far as the 14 th century. This industrial heritage has helped to shape almost every part of the local environment; its influence can be spotted in quite unexpected places. Many mills have since diversified to other industries, and textile manufacture has virtually disappeared in the locality. However, a rich built heritage of former mills, associated buildings and the transport infrastructure (canals, roads and railways) remains.
