Excerpt from the Dover edition of Oelsner's A Handbook of Weaves (translated and revised by Samuel S. Dale), consisting of the title page and Dale's supplement on the 'straight line' analysis of weaves, patterns and fabrics. It explains how to pick out a cloth sample to record the weave draft, drawing-in draft and color pattern, then how to find yarn counts, cloth weight and yards per pound from a standard 1/300 square yard sample. A worked example analyzes a cross rib cloaking of cotton, worsted and carded woolen yarn, with conversion formulas between yarn numbering systems.
