A 1921 second edition of William Watson's textbook on the design and colouring of woven fabrics made from one warp and one weft system. It covers the construction of simple and special weaves (plain, twill, sateen, diamond, crepe, huckaback, corkscrew, Bedford cord, welts and piques), stripe and check combinations, calculations, colour theory, and colour-and-weave effects. It also treats Jacquard machines and harnesses and the designing of figured fabrics, with the arrangement of repeats and figures on point paper. Illustrated with hundreds of figures and drafts, and includes a new appendix on standard yarns, weaves and fabrics and an index.
