A late-Victorian textbook on the structure of woven fabrics for textile students, by the head of the textile department at Blackburn Municipal Technical School. Fourteen chapters move from basic principles, design paper and yarns through plain cloth, twills, satins, drafts and tie-ups, and spotting. They go on to open-work effects, cords, pile weaving (velvets and plushes), backed and double cloth, and cross weaving (gauze and leno). It is heavily illustrated with sectional diagrams and point-paper drawdowns, with many drafts and tie-ups, and also covers Jacquard mounting and card cutting for power-loom manufacture.
