Two pages from The Textile Mercury of 17 May 1890 with a "Designing" column on new worsted designs and a short item on Russian wools. The column discusses the use of colour with weave, with warp and weft colour schemes (Patterns I-IV) for worsteds in 2 and 2 twill and for check and stripe effects. It gives drawdown designs 95-99, some requiring sixteen shafts. It also gives instructions with threading and pegging plans for a cotton shirting, a vesting and three fancy zephyr tartan dress goods in cotton. The Russian wools item reports wool deliveries at Rostov in 1889 and prices.
