An article from Posselt's Textile Journal on polo cloth, a heavy woolen cloaking fabric, covering three types: chinchilla, plain-face polo cloth, and reversible blanket cloth. It explains the weave constructions (satin-based and broken twill weaves with one warp and two fillings, plaid-back structures with stuffer picks, and double-cloth twills with different stitching arrangements) and describes the finishing processes of fulling, gigging, whipping, shearing and rubbing on the chinchilla machine. The scan also includes the start of an installment on gauze (leno) weaving, with doup threading drafts.
