Popis:

his item is in the collectionQueen Street Mill in Harle Syke, a suburb to the north-east of Burnley, Lancashire. The mill was built in 1894 for the Queen Street Manufacturing Company. It closed on 12 March 1982 and was mothballed, but was subsequently taken over by Burnley Borough Council and used as a museum. In the 1990s ownership passed to Lancashire Museums. Unique in being the world's only surviving steam-driven weaving shed. The towelling loom has two beams of warp- they can be tensioned to give the characteristic loops or a plain weave.

A dobby uses a chain of bars or lags each of which has pegs inserted to select the shafts to be moved. Each shaft controls a set of threads. Raising or lowering several shafts at the same time gives a huge variety of possible sheds through which the shuttle containing the weft thread can be thrown.

One chain of lags switches between the two modes of weaving- switching between a longer chains and a shorter chain for the two patterns.
