COMBOYS

Coloured shawls woven in Colne and Radcliffe. Made in checks and stripes with fancy headings at each end of the shawl. The border at each side is made by cramming the warp in the reed, generally four double ends in one dent. The body of the cloth is a matt weave. Many qualities are woven, ranging from 24's to 34's warp and weft, 44 to 52 picks per inch, and varying numbers of ends per inch.
