Three pages from the Designing section of The Textile Mercury, 24 May 1890, with weave designs for worsted coatings and trousers, a woollen suiting, an Indian carpet, and cotton stripes and tartans. Text for Designs 100-103 explains the weave combinations (warp and weft twills, ribs, sateen/buckskin twill, nine-end twills, spot effects) with setts, yarn counts, and warp colourings. It also gives warping and draft instructions for two New Galatea stripes and a zephyr cotton tartan with silk stripe, plus a note on a Cashmere silk carpet. Drawdowns, pegging plans and a draft diagram are on pages 2-3. Page 1 also carries unrelated trade news on cotton spinners' union membership, chemical patents, and Natal industries.
