Two journal pages from the January 1915 issue of Posselt's Textile Journal, continuing a series on ribbon manufacture. The article explains how right and left hand twist in warp and filling yarns affects fabric appearance, including the relation of twist direction to twill direction in 4-harness and pointed twills. It also covers producing pearl-edge loops on ribbons with wires or horse hairs, open versus twisted loops, fancy twist effects, and the rolling of ribbons from heavy twisted threads. A short section converts German metric spun (chappe) silk counts to English counts, with worked examples.
