Where cotton is used for the filling and more elaborate effects are desired, long reeled skeins are used, sometimes 108 or 216 inches, which have been reeled on specially designed collapsible reels. Such skeins are not practicable to handle in the dye house in the manner already described. Sections of such skeins are wrapped in heavy waterproof paper and tied tightly, so that the dye liquor cannot penetrate that portion, and then the whole is put in the liquor, when the exposed part only will be dyed. Then again sometimes wood clamps are used, like that shown at Fig. 2, having a recess into which part of the skein is laid after being carefully folded. The two halves are clamped together tightly in such a manner that the dye cannot penetrate the clamped part of the skein while the part left outside the clamp is dyed when the whole is immersed in the dye liquor. PRINTED FILLING Another form of elaboration used in such goods is printing the skein yarn used for the filling. This is done by using a machine having a pair of fluted brass printing rolls, one of which is made to open on a hinge like a gate so that a skein of yarn can be put around it. This roller is then closed to its original position, so that with the two rollers parallel and close together, and the skein of yarn hugged tightly between them, the turning of the rollers imprints color on the skein. The skein is then taken out and dryed before spooling. Different sets of rolls are used so as to get fine and coarse effects and various colors are used in printing. Where plaid or printed fillings are used for the elaboration of webs of the honeycomb type, it is not unusual to introduce a couple of plain cords in the center of the web, or possibly on either side, so as to break up the flatness of the weave. This opens up the opportunity of using lines of a different color in the warp which properly arranged will produce a plaid-like effect.

These webs are used for binding the limbs and other purposes and are in the pure white or natural yarns. They require to be made with a long soft easy stretch. An open reed of about 12 dents per inch is employed. Four threads are generally used for the binder, weaving two up and two down. The goods are similar in construction to a regular lisle web, except that the gut is omitted in order to get the easiest possible movement.
