Page 1, at reduced quality. Open the document to read every page in full.
Two pages from Posselt's Textile Journal (February 1911) on designing and fabric structure, explaining how to combine twills with their mate satin (granite) weaves to make large Jacquard-imitation designs on a regular harness loom. Worked examples (Figs. 1-8) use 10- and 12-harness twills and granites arranged after basket-weave motives, with repeats of 40, 48, 72 and 84 threads and drawing-in drafts using straight and satin draws. The second page also has a short piece on Persian rug making covering regional rug types, Kerman silk rugs, and the use of silk waste.
