Part of a serial article from Posselt's Textile Journal (December 1911) explaining gauze or leno weaving. It describes standard and whip (doup) threads, bottom and top doups, the full-heddle and skeleton harness, drawing-in of ground and doup harnesses, the slackener or easer, and plain gauze with harness chains. Diagrams show the doup, drawing-in drafts, fabric sketches and harness chains. The pages also include a short fragment on a 6-leaf satin weave repeat, news notes on cotton, and the start of a piece on figured madras shirting with warp arrangement and reed details.
