An article from Posselt's Textile Journal explaining corkscrew twills, which are twilled warp ribs made from regular twills by double drafting. It covers 5, 6, 7, 8, 11 and 13-harness examples and their drafting orders, then shows wavy, spot, three-color and figured corkscrew effects (Figs. 9-12) with a page of weave diagrams. The scan also includes the start of an unrelated article on faults in dyeing and how to correct them, including stripping and re-dyeing of vegetable fibres, wool and silk.
