Designing - Worsted Trouserings
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 with a 'Designing' column on worsted trouserings. It gives two designs (9 and 10) with draft grids: Design 9 is a warp-backed cloth combining 2/2 twill and the Mayo (Campbell) twill, tied on an eight-end sateen base, and Design 10 combines buckskin weave with a 4 and 4 rib. Yarn counts, reed, picks per inch and colour warp/weft suggestions are given. A short introductory section on Scotch tweeds discusses colour in pattern design. The top of the page has a table comparing blue cotton dyes (New Blue, Indazin, Naphthylene Blue and others) for fastness and shade.
