A continuation of Posselt's series on the foundation weaves for textile designers, covering satin weaves. It explains the characteristics of satin, the rule for constructing regular satins by dividing the harness number into two counters, and the four ways to build the 5-harness satin (Figs. 17-22). Plates show regular satins (5 to 12 harness) and irregular satins (4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 harness). The scan opens with the end of a plush fabric design and closes with a short article on indigo-dyed yarn streaks caused by micro-organisms.
