A German-language instruction book by Franz Donat on creating fabric patterns through the colored arrangement of warp and weft threads, using two to six colors. The text covers mixed-color effects and pure color effects (stripes, cross stripes, checks, diagonals, figured patterns), then figured patterns built from compound weaves, motifs, double cloths and triple or quadruple cloths, with notes on color order, binding repeats and Jacquard card punching. About 76 plates present 580 weave drafts (Bindungen) with matching fabric-appearance drawings, plus the five fabric samples mentioned on the title page.
