[hu]so en su oficio suele usar del torno y el huso, y sabe destexer lo viejo. El buen hilador, lo que hila va parejo y delgado y bien torcido, y ansí hilado lo compone en mazorca y lo devana, hacienda ovillos y haciendo madejuelas; y al fin, en su oficio es perseverante y diligente. El mal hilador, por el contrario, lo que hila es tosco y grueso, ni va parejo ni bien torcido, ni va igual, sino atramojado, floxo; nada curioso en su oficio, sino descuidado, pesado y desmazalado.
\nEl texedor o la texedora urde y pone en el telar la ordiambre, y moeve las primideras con los pies; y juega de la lanzadera, y pone la tela en los lizos. La buena texedora suele apretar y golpear lo que texe, y aderezar lo mal texido con espina o con alfiler, y tupir muy bien, o hacer ralo lo que va tupido. Sabe también poner en el telar la tela, y estirarla con la medida,
