A 1907 trade compilation of articles on cotton fabrics from the American Wool and Cotton Reporter, published by Frank P. Bennett & Co. Each fabric entry (gingham, crash, damask, terry cloth, dimity, duck, ticking, drill, denim, lawn, calico, Marseilles quilts, crepon, Brighton cloth, and many others) gives the construction (reed, picks, yarn counts, weight, finish), weave, drawing-in draft and reed plan, followed by carding and spinning particulars and dyeing recipes. Other sections cover design-paper preparation for jacquard damask, fabric analysis and yarn-count calculations, and mock leno, honeycomb and Brighton weaves. The volume has many weave drafts and fabric illustrations, plus trade advertisements at the front and back.
