Two pages from the February 1911 issue of Posselt's Textile Journal, continuing a series on fabric analysis. The article explains when to pick the warp out of the filling rather than the reverse, using corkscrew, diagonal and skip-twill weaves as examples, and describes procedures for analyzing double cloth (2 systems of warp with 1 of filling), including 1 face 1 back and 2 face 1 back arrangements. Weave diagrams accompany the text. Page 2 also begins a short section, 'Novelties from Abroad', with dressgoods specifications (warp, weave repeat, reed, dress, filling, finish).
