Second installment of a series on leno weaving and design from The Melliand, covering fancy allover leno effects with multiple doup sets and ground harnesses, figured effects combining plain weave and leno, and clipped spot patterns woven on box looms. It explains doup, slotted heddle, jumper and slackener mechanisms, double yokes, and ways of catching roving filling at the selvedges, with drawing-in and chain drafts for each sample. It closes with tubular leno fabrics woven with double doup mountings, used for hosiery dyeing, laundry and vegetable bags.
