A German-language installment of Artur Hamann's serial "Webwarenkunde" (textile merchandise knowledge) from Melliand's Textilberichte, 1927, pp. 401-408. It describes commercial cotton and linen fabrics: Natté (panama weaves), Nankinett, Nainsook, Nesseltuch, leno-type Korellstoffe, Byssus, Frottesina, bed ticking (Bettzeug), printed cretonne couvertures, and Satin Augusta. A long section on linen and half-linen laundry fabrics follows, covering bleaching, fiber content and labeling, Aeterna sheets, and an alphabetical glossary of linen types such as Gminderleinen, Heedeleinen and Leinenbatist. Thread counts, yarn numbers and widths are given, along with weave diagrams and sample photographs.
