An article from Posselt's Textile Journal (October 1916) explaining how rib weaves are constructed from the plain weave. It covers warp-effect, filling-effect, fancy and figured rib weaves (diagrams A to L), then silk faille with a binder warp, including threading, reed and sample texture details. It closes with worsted men's wear and dress goods examples (Figs. 2 to 4) giving warp and filling counts, reeds and finishing. A short note on detecting catechu in black silk dyeings follows.
