Their engaging three hundred silk throwsters here in one week for New York was treated as a fable, because, forsooth, they have 'no silk there to throw!'

It is handled here first by the throwster who winds it from the skein and makes different varieties of thread.

Silk is to be delivered on bobbins from throwster.

A woman's clack, if I have skill,         Sounds somewhat like a throwster's mill;         But louder than a bell, or thunder:         That does, I own, increase my wonder.

Who is the throwster and what is his work?
