The art of weaving, by hand and by power, with an introductory account of its rise and progress in ancient and modern times . th, it has been shown, thatevery thread of the warp and of the weft cross each other at rightangles, and are tacked together alternately. This is not the casein tweeling, for in this branch of weaving only the third, fourth,fifth, sixth, (fcc. threads cross each other. Tweeled cloths are pro-duced of many different kinds. In the coarsest species every thirdthread is crossed, and this is commonly caUed the blanket tweel, infiner fabrics they intersect each other at intervals of 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8threads, and in some silk stuffs the crossing does not take placeuntil the 16th interval, which is denominated the full satin tweel. Before proceeding further it may be proper to explain what iaknown among weavers by the appellation oiflushing. When anythread or portion, whether of warp or weft, is not regularly inter-woven in the cloth, as in jjlain weaving, that thread or portionof tlireads is said to he flushed. By referring to the followingFigs, this will be more clearly illustrated. Fis. In Fig. 13, which is referred to as a specimen of plain cloth, as itwould appear when viewed through a microscope, the intersectionsof the threads are evidently alternate. TWEELING. 97 Fig. 14.
