Article from Posselt's Textile Journal (July 1912) on adding weight and bulk to woolen and worsted cloth with a back filling, a second weft hitched to the back of a single-cloth structure. It sets out design rules: face-to-back pick ratios, yarn twist and count, and how to choose twill or satin weaves to bind the backing without disturbing the face. A plate of 28 weaves and several fabric cross-section diagrams illustrates face weaves and their backed versions, including fancy and figured twills, entwining twills, granite weaves and corkscrews. The start of the scan also has the end of a piece on calculating the repeat of Jacquard designs, and the last page has a short item on dyeing woolens with artificial silk effect threads.
