A May 1911 Posselt's Textile Journal lesson on constructing broken steep twills from 63-degree steep twill foundations. It gives the rule for reversing the twill direction at set thread counts, first broken warp ways and then broken warp and filling ways, with worked examples (Figs. 1-9) giving drafting sequences and repeat sizes. It also explains how dot and circle marks can soften the cut line across the filling. The pages also include the end of an installment on flax hackling and sorting, a short note on Tibetan shawl wool, and part of an article on the influence of yarn twist on fabrics.
