Two pages from the October 1911 installment of E. A. Posselt's serial glossary of textile terms, covering entries from PILE through POIL DE CHEVRE. Entries define fabrics (piqué, plush, plaid, pilot cloth), fibres (pineapple, pita), lace types (pillow lace, Plauen lace, pinwork) and weaving and finishing terms (pile weaving, pile wire, plain weave, planting, plated hosiery). Definitions are brief, with longer technical explanations for pile weaving, piqué construction and plated hosiery.
