Two pages from a continuing series in Posselt's Textile Journal on the construction of skip twills. The check-effects section explains how to draft skip twills from 4-, 6- and 10-harness even-sided foundation twills, skipping ends and picks to make break lines in both warp and filling directions (Figs. 12-16). Fig. 16 is worked out as a broken-effect skip twill of 78 ends, with its construction draft. The first page also ends an installment on welt weaves, with wadding picks, fancy welts and fabric-section diagrams (Figs. 24-42) and a material-quantity calculation. The second page closes with a short note on cotton spinning in Japan.
