Encyclopedia entry defining dornock as a stout figured linen, chiefly woven in northern Scotland for table cloths. It describes the simple check or square patterns made by reversing warp and weft floats, and the use of three-, four- and five-leaf twills. It also notes that customer weavers wove much of it from home-spun yarn, a trade then in decline. It refers to plates for the design-paper representation and loom mounting, but these are not part of the scan.
