A MANUFACTURING TRIUMPH.
At the Woollen Company’s Works on Monday last, a piece of cloth was manufactured, and made into a suit of clothes, which was exhibited at the ehow. Three half-bred merino sheep, shorn at 6.30 a.m., gave fleeces weighing 181 b. The fleeces were then passed through the process of dyeing in two colours, teasing, carding, spinning, steaming, warping, weaving, scouring, milling, tentering, and dyeing, the last-named being finished by 10.52 a.m., and at 10.5% or in four hoiuis and 25 minutes from the time when the shear-first touched the sheep, a complete l fabric was sent into Wellington, and made into a suit of clothes, which left the tailors hand at 5r30 p.m. in the afternoon.
