This directed that the master weavers should yearly elect a President, four Wardens and eight Assistants to make byelaws for the trade. This body was responsible for regulating all cloth manufacture in the parish, whether with wool only or with wool and other materials. The Act specifically mentions <a href="/wiki/Linen" title="Linen">linen</a> <a href="/wiki/Yarn" title="Yarn">yarn</a> being 'reeled on a reel four yards about' and sold by the 'lea' containing 200 threads.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In the early 18th century, the range of <a href="/wiki/Textile" title="Textile">textiles</a> made in Kidderminster broadened with <a href="/wiki/Bombazine" title="Bombazine">bombazine</a> (with a silk warp and worsted weft) also being produced. The traditional stuff trade declined in the late 18th century with the rise of cotton fabrics. However Kidderminster continued to be a textile town, but in the 19th and 20th centuries specialised in carpets.
