Ohio Fleece, Wool Yarn Process Sample; Harris Woolen Co 1884
The Harris Woolen Company operated in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, listing the firm as manufacturing "Fancy Cassimeres". The firm donated samples of their products, including fabrics of worsted wool, wool and silk, and wool (not worsted). An unknown number of these samples were destroyed in 1913, possibly due to pest infestation.
