Issue No. 90 (June 15, 1893) of the Irish Textile Journal, a Belfast trade periodical. It covers the Irish linen trade and related industries: a rebuttal of a London Daily Chronicle portrayal of Belfast, a Belfast linen trade report (flax, yarn, cloth), export statistics, and reports on the making-up trades (shirts, collars, aprons, pinafores), the cotton and woollen trades, and the Bray Industrial Exhibition. The installment VII of 'Practical Instructions in Linen Weaving' discusses linen looms and dress linens and includes small drawdown diagrams, such as a 6-shaft satin, with threading and treadling notes. The issue closes with a new patent flax hackling machine, chemicals and dyes, patent lists and addresses to the Marquis of Salisbury.
