A German-language handbook of weaving theory, technique and practice for manufacturers and weavers, second edition, from the weaving school at Hohenstein near Chemnitz. The first part covers cloth calculation in detail (warp and weft counts, thread density, reed and pattern repeats, colour stripes, uneven density) and then warping, beaming, drawing-in, sizing, weft preparation and loom construction (frame, warp beam, batten, shuttles, heddles, shedding mechanisms). Later sections treat binding structures (plain weave, twills, satins, compound and figured weaves), treadle tie-ups, the Jacquard machine and harness tie-ups, and special fabrics such as rib, hollow cloth, velvet, plush, chenille and quilted bedcovers. It is illustrated with lithographed plates, and the preface says it contains 964 weave structures and patterns.
