Two pages from the Textile Mercury of 1 February 1890 with a 'Designing' column for power-loom cloth makers. It gives pegging plans for spring dress goods in cotton, silk, linen or worsted, a design for woollen mantle cloth combining ribbed and twill sections with setts and colourings, and a figured dress fabric with semicircle motifs. Drawdown and pegging-plan grids are included. The first page also carries unrelated trade news items.
