A short 1895 Burnley pamphlet explaining how simple woven patterns derive from twills, accompanied by a sheet of designs lettered A to Z. The text describes waves, spots, dice or check, broken, combination and corkscrew twills, weft- and warp-backed cloths, double cloths, satins, honeycombs, mock lenos and cords, and how each is obtained by altering the looming (drawing-in) or pegging plan. The design sheet shows drawdowns for each class of structure.
