Article from Posselt's Textile Journal (April 1915) explaining how to build combination weaves from skip twills and broken twills, which give a bold diagonal effect on the fabric face. It covers plain effects on 4- and 6-harness even-sided twill foundations (Figs. 1-7) and two fancy effects (Figs. 8-9). Each weave is described with its repeat size, skip, and number of picks. The scan also includes part of a continuing series on ribbon manufacture, covering an open-work striped ribbon (Figs. 150-151) with weave, drawing-in draft and reeding, and the start of a section on passamenterie trimmings.
