Three pages from Posselt's Textile Journal, April 1911 (pp. 86-88). The main article explains how direction and amount of twist affect yarn strength and fabric character, covering fiber length, count, raw material, lubricants, warp versus filling yarns, napped and smooth-faced fabrics, and mule versus ring spinning. The pages also open with the end of a piece on combining entwining and regular twills (Figs. 3 and 4), and close with the start of a ribbon-design article on preparing sketches and choosing point paper.
