Installment of E. A. Posselt's serial "Fabric Analysis" from Posselt's Textile Journal, covering how to pick out the weave of a cloth sample. It describes magnifiers (pick glass, doublet, triple aplanatic, cloth counting glass, dissecting microscope), dissecting scissors, point paper, preparing a sample, and the rules for telling warp from filling. The last page continues a separate series on ribbons, trimmings and edgings, with pile fabrics such as carriage borders, double velvet ribbons and terry or loop pile, illustrated by weave diagrams.
