Two pages from The Textile Mercury, 22 February 1890, with the 'Designing' column on new designs for the textile trade. It continues a series on cotton shirtings, giving particulars for Design No. 2 (10 shafts, 32-end draft, reed, counts and picks) with draft and pegging plan. It then discusses the likely replacement of broad figured worsted twills for coatings and trouserings, with warp and weft colour schemes and drawdowns for Designs 45 to 49, including twills, hopsack and corkscrew weaves for worsteds and woollens. The first page also carries unrelated letters and trade notes.
