The next description of light linen goods that are made is 

 three-fourths wide lawns, which are made from mill-spun 

 yarns in the warp, and their wefts are from hand-spun yarns, 

 which are spun in Prussia and other parts of Germany. It is 

 a more wiry sort of yarn than that spun by machinery ; and 

 goods made from it are not so like cotton nor so SOFT, as those 

 made from mill-spun yarns in warp and weft
