Article from Posselt's Textile Journal (February 1916) explaining how crêpoline weaves for worsted dress goods are constructed. It combines a 2-up warp-rib with an irregular 12-harness satin stitching weave on 12x12 and 16x16 repeats, illustrated by eight weave diagrams. It also gives six standard fabric textures (warp, reed, and filling specifications) and continues a series on double-face reversible fabrics, covering color combinations, fulling problems, and Scotch tweeds.
