What reading level is Household Textiles book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Damask, satin, velvet, different crepes and brocades depend on the weave for their character. The Jacquard loom again offers almost end- less possibilities, and the designer is ever at work to produce some new effect which will appeal to the pub- lic eye. SILK 105 The finishing processes for silk differ from those used with other materials. Little washing or scrubbing is nec- essary, and most silks are finished almost entirely in a dry state. Washing is necessary with some silks, but those whic...h have been heavily weighted in the yarn are not washed. Singeing in a gas flame, or shearing with a machine arranged on the same principle as the lawn mower, removes the fuzzy ends which would diminish the luster. Sizing may be sprayed upon the surface of the cloth, after which it is passed through heated cylin- ders to dry and to press out wrinkles. For certain sur- faces the silk is pressed between layers of finishing paper ; then, to take away the papery feeling, is passed between wooden rollers in which buttons are driven.
