Two pages of a serialized glossary from Posselt's Textile Journal (February 1917, continued from the January issue), covering terms from Gabardine through Gingham. Entries define fabrics, fibers, dyes and dyestuffs, yarns, finishing processes, machinery, laces and embroideries, and British and American loom terms such as gaiting, gait-over, gears, doups and gauze (leno) weaving. Includes some weave details, such as the 3-harness warp-effect twill used in galatea and Genoese corduroy.
