A 1914 offprint by Franz Donat analyzing two hand-drawn weaving pattern books from the Upper Inn Valley in Tyrol, dated 1658 (Thoman Lins) and 1701 (Matheus Berger). The first part explains weaving fundamentals: plain weave, twill, satin, derived weaves, looms, shedding mechanisms, and draft notation on point paper. The second part discusses the books' pattern types (plain work, symmetrical "hin und wieder" patterns, stripes, checkered/block work, and draw-loom figured work) with threading, treadling and tie-up diagrams for 8 and 16 shafts. It reproduces figured borders with eagles, animals, human figures, religious monograms, stars, and plants, shown on plates.
