Designing - Meltons
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A single page from The Textile Mercury's Designing column discussing melton cloth: wool selection, scouring, fulling, finishing and the twist direction of warp and weft for compactness. It gives weave designs 20-23 suitable for meltons and suggests ways to develop a large scroll-and-star figure (Figure 3) in silk, worsted and cotton dress fabrics. It closes with notes on carriage rugs, including double plain cloth or two-weft constructions, a sett with yarn counts, and Designs 24 and 25.
