Broken Twills
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A one-page article from Posselt's Textile Journal explaining broken twills, which are derived from regular twills by reversing the twill direction partway through the repeat so the twill line breaks up. It starts with the 4-harness 1/3 broken twill and works through Figs. 1-13, including 2/2 and 3/3 even-sided twills with breaks every 2, 4 or 8 threads, and larger fancy combinations, illustrated with a drawdown grid. The page also begins a separate piece on testing the fastness of dyed fabrics to air, light, weather, carbonizing, crocking, fulling, perspiration, rain and steaming.
