An article from Posselt's Textile Journal (November 1915) describing a method of building many new weaves from a single foundation weave by drafting every second, third, fourth, etc. warp thread or pick until the new repeat is reached. Examples use a 13-harness regular twill (warp and filling drafting, including turning weaves 45 degrees) and a 20-harness 45 degree twill drafted in groups of two threads to give novelty dress-goods weaves. A plate of thirteen drawdowns accompanies the text. The scan also begins with a short item on new card-clothing for top flats in cotton carding.
