Summary "Theory of Silk Weaving" by Arnold Wolfensberger is a scientific publication focused on the intricacies of silk weaving, written in the early 20th century. This treatise delves into the construction and application of various weaving techniques, particularly for silk fabrics including Jacquard weaves, and offers insights into the decomposition and calculation of different fabric types. The work aims to enhance understanding and technical skills in the burgeoning American silk industry of that era. The book is structured in three main parts: the process of drawing-in the warp in the harness, the examination of different weaving methods and their applications, and the analysis of woven textiles. Wolfensberger explains various drawing-in techniques including straight, skip, and point draws, and elaborates on key weave types such as taffeta, satin, and serge, providing detailed examples and diagrams. Additional sections cover specific fabrics and cost calculations, making it a comprehensive resource for those interested in the fabric production industry, particularly in enhancing their knowledge of silk weaving practices.
