An instructional article from Posselt's Textile Journal (June 1920) on designing single-cloth fabrics that combine a face filling and a backing filling with one warp to add thickness, mainly for heavy woolens. It covers picking ratios (1 face:1 back, 2:1, 3:1), yarn twist and size for the backing, rules for binding the back picks, and the effect on texture and finishing. Thirteen figures show weave drawdowns for twill and satin faces with their back weaves, with repeat sizes given, and the later figures show double-cloth type structures with stitching. The scan also includes short trade news items on silk, cotton and hosiery.
