Two pages from Posselt's Textile Journal (November 1914) with the end of a fabric analysis article on calculating fabric weight per yard, followed by the continuing dictionary entries from 'Worker' through 'Yamamai Silk'. Entries cover worsted diagonals, worsted yarn counts, worsted spinning systems, tops, and loom terms such as wraith, wrong draw and wyper. Illustrations include two diagonal weave diagrams, a magnified worsted thread and a magnified yamamai silk fiber. Page 2 also carries advertisements for dyers, silk finishers and a silk degumming process.
