Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fine Thread, Lace and Hosiery in Ipswich: And Ipswich Mills and Factories As the introduction of lace weaving into this country in 1820, and into this town of Ipswich in 1822, came to grief through the dependence of that art, upon the preliminary art of spinning extremely fine thread, we have given thus far, our attention to the implements for making the thread from which lace and cloths were woven in old times.
