Two pages from Posselt's Textile Journal (April 1911) on designing large-effect fabric weaves for woolen and worsted suitings. The first part explains combining entwining twills with regular 2/2 4-harness and 3/3 6-harness foundation twills, with four figure examples that need 16 to 24 harnesses and fancy drawing-in drafts. The second part begins an article on how the direction and amount of yarn twist affect the yarn and fabric, covering right and left twist and why twist gives strength.
