A 1929 trade article by F. Müller on how weave and material interact in artificial silk (rayon) fabrics, especially Jacquard cloths for items such as cravats. It discusses the difficulties of using artificial silk as warp (sizing, close sets, sagging threads), the use of satin, taffeta, twill and plain weaves, draughts-board and block patterns, shot effects from warp and weft stripes, and appliqué-style figuring by changing weave. It closes with comments on artificial silk replacing natural silk and organzine/tram. Six figures show weave plans and Jacquard patterns, but there are no standard weaving drafts.
