Part of a series in Posselt's Textile Journal on weave formation, dealing with combination weaves made by joining two or more foundation weaves such as satins, granites, twills, diagonals, baskets and broken twills. It explains the conditions for combining weaves (matching repeats, balanced interlacing and uniform take-up) and works through Figs. 1-15, covering stripe, diagonal, check and fancy (Jacquard-style) effects, with harness requirements and repeat sizes. The scan ends with the start of a short unrelated piece on judging the viscosity of starch pastes for sizing and finishing, with illustrations of sago, potato and wheat starch grains.
