Part III of E. A. Posselt's serial 'Fabric Analysis' from the January 1911 issue of Posselt's Textile Journal, dealing with ascertaining the weave of a fabric sample by picking-out. It explains point paper (8 x 8 ruling) and how to record risers and sinkers, preparing a sample by shaving or singeing nap, and working out which threads are warp and which are filling. It then gives a step-by-step needle procedure for picking out each filling thread and recording the interlacing, including finding the repeat of the weave and of the warp color pattern. Two figures show how to cut and prepare a sample and how the pick is loosened with a needle.
