Two pages from the Textile Mercury's 'Designing' column presenting numbered weave designs (80-89) with drawdown grids. It covers fancy twills for woollens and worsteds with suggested yarn counts and colourings, a Bombay dhootie with a satin-on-five-shafts border, two cotton shirting patterns with warp color sequences and reed/pick counts, and a discussion of figured stripes for worsted and cotton dress fabrics. The first page also carries unrelated trade news and answers to correspondents on cotton ginning and carding.
