A trilingual (German, French, English) pattern dictionary of weave structures compiled by Franz Donat, with 300 plates showing 9015 weave patterns (bindings) as two- or three-color drawdowns. It opens with a preface and explanatory text on the plain weave, ribs and hopsacks, twills, satin and sateen, soleil, diagonals, diamond (chevron) patterns, crape weaves, sand crape, damask effects and pattern combinations. Most pages are plates of small drawdown grids, arranged systematically by structure family and number of shafts, intended as a design reference and source of ideas for textile designers.
