Two pages from The Textile Mercury combining a short piece on the chemical constituents of flax fibre and assorted dye and bleaching trade notes with the 'Designing' column on arranging figures in textile design repeats. The design column explains repeat construction, spot and reversed figures, and overlapping figures using diagrams and floral designs. Page 2 also gives weaving specifications for a cotton shirting on 8 shafts with draft and pegging plan, a Punjab loongee and dhootie border, and a silk and cotton check and stripe on 8 shafts.
