Two pages from Posselt's Textile Journal (August 1911) on fabric structure. The article explains how fringes are woven at the edges of shawls, curtains and tablecovers using heavy threads or wires that form protruding loops, including fringes of a different color made with a special warp thread. It also describes pearl edges, the looped ribbon selvages formed over temporary horsehair or wire threads, with labeled structure diagrams. The second page begins a separate piece on the importance of sizing woolen and worsted warps.
