Installment of a serialized article on fabric analysis from Posselt's Textile Journal, January 1915, explaining how to pick out the weave from a fabric sample. It covers the picking-out needle, forceps and pick-glass, choosing whether to pick filling from warp or the reverse, preparing and cutting the sample, and recording each pick's interlacing on design paper. It also advises on finding the weave repeat, handling colored warps, and reconstructing incomplete repeats from theory. The scan also includes the start of an unrelated piece on cotton spinning mule straps.
