Issue No. 84 (15 December 1892) of the Belfast trade periodical The Irish Textile Journal, covering the linen, cotton, woollen and related textile trades. It opens a serial of practical linen weaving instruction (plain weave, reed and yarn count calculations, with two plain-weave drawdown diagrams), and includes a piece on linen bleaching with peroxide of hydrogen. The rest is trade news: the effect of the cotton crisis on linen, flax market and Belfast linen trade reports, export statistics, the making-up trades, reports from Irish, English, US and other markets, an Ulster industries sketch of Carrickfergus, the Philadelphia Textile School, an obituary of linen thread manufacturer Robert Barbour, book notices, dye and chemical notes and patent lists.
