Three journal pages from the February 1912 issue of Posselt's Textile Journal. The first part continues a series on fabric analysis, identifying raw materials by microscope: silk (true and wild), cotton (ripe, half-ripe and dead fibres), flax, jute, ramie and hemp, with fibre and plant illustrations. It opens with the end of a list of silk counting systems (International, Turin, Milan, Lyonese and American dram). The last page continues a series on gauze or leno weaving, describing fancy gauze fabrics made with two doups and four ground-harnesses, with drawing-in and doup threading diagrams.
