About the author
Thomas Woodhouse (1862–1933) was a British textile specialist best known for writing about jute, linen, and weaving technology. Sources identify him as head of the Weaving and Textile Designing Department at the Technical College in Dundee, and his books show the depth of his hands-on knowledge of textile manufacture.
He wrote or co-wrote several substantial works, including Jute and Linen Weaving, The Jute Industry: From Seed to Finished Cloth, Textile Design Pure and Applied, and Yarn Counts and Calculations. These books were practical rather than literary, explaining materials, machinery, design, and production methods in a way that would have been useful to students, teachers, and people working in the trade.
Woodhouse also contributed articles to the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica. A confirmed portrait was not available from the sources I could verify here, so no profile image is included.
