A two-page installment (pp. 330-331) of Hermann Erler's serial article on Eskimo fabrics, a double-cloth wool material with separate face and backing warps and wefts. It gives further weave examples (Abb. 14-19) and summarizes the structures used: four-end warp-faced cross twill or five-end warp satin for the face, and warp-faced twill, satin or plain weave for the backing, with backing warp ends tied to face picks. It also covers yarn materials (carded woolen yarn, shoddy, cotton blends, mohair or silk for chinchilla effects), yarn counts, twist direction, and how these affect fulling. A table lists face weave, backing weave, binding weave and thread settings for each figure.
