Two pages from Posselt's Textile Journal (April 1919) on the design and construction of dress and mantle fabrics. The first article describes combining warp figuring, filling figuring and fancy ground weaves, with weaving particulars (yarns, reed, thread counts) for two figured designs on a 12-harness fancy ground and a five-end sateen ground. It then shows ground weaves (bold twill, three-and-two warp rib in diagonal stripe, check-effect rib) with fabric specifications. A second article, "Clay Twills," discusses construction and settings of clay worsted cloth with a 3-and-3 twill, including a calculation of ends per inch.
