What reading level is Textile Fabrics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
\ The " opus pectineum " was a kind of woven work imitative of embroidery, and employed to supply it. John Garland, in his G 82 TEXTILES.
dictionary, explains that it was made by means of a comb, or some comb-like instrument : and from this the work itself re- ceived the distinctive appellation of " pectineum, " or comb- wrought. Before John Garland left England for France, to teach a school there, he must have often seen his countrywomen at such an occupation ; and the amice given by Katherine... Lovell to St. Paul's, '■ de opere pectineo, " may perhaps have been the work of her own hands.
Women in the middle ages were so ready at the needle that they could make their embroidery look as if it had been done in the loom, really woven. A shred of crimson cendal figured in gold and silver thread with a knight on horseback, armed as of the latter time of Edward the first, was shown to us some time ago. At first sight the mounted warrior seemed to have been not hand-worked but woven ; so flat, so even was every thread.
