A two-page excerpt from Posselt's Textile Journal (June 1912) explaining spider weaves, which use floating warp and filling threads to form a net-like honeycomb or hexagon effect over a plain-weave ground. It gives construction rules and describes weaves Figs. 1, 3, 4, 6 and 8 with repeat sizes (e.g. 24 x 28, 28 x 32), their fabric sketches, and a 9-harness dobby drawing-in draft. The scan also opens with the end of a piece on distributing figures in satin settings with the Royle card stamper and repeater, and closes with the start of a section on faults in cotton fabrics (reedy cloth, floats).
