Two pages of a serialized textile dictionary from Posselt's Textile Journal, April 1916, continuing from the March issue. Entries run alphabetically from Crammed Stripes through Cut Goods and cover fabrics (crape, crêpe varieties, crash, cretonne, crinoline), yarns and twists, finishing and bleaching processes, machines, dyes and chemicals, fibres, sheep breeds, and some lace and crochet terms. Definitions are brief and technical, often noting French origins and manufacturing details.
