An article from Posselt's Textile Journal (February 1912) on designing new weaves by combining broken twills with their mate basket weaves. It explains, figure by figure, how weave plans and motives are built on 4-harness twill and basket units, with repeats of 16, 32 and 48 threads, and gives drawing-in drafts for fancy draws on 8 to 20 harnesses. The scan ends with the start of a short piece on international counts of yarn, covering the metric count and American and English woolen, cotton and worsted counts.
