Two pages from The Textile Mercury (June 1890) containing the 'Designing' column, which continues a series on sateens and their derivatives, covering nine-end and ten-end sateens and their relation to twills (Designs 135-146). It also gives a fancy worsted waistcoating design with warp and weft particulars, a Galatea stripe, two linen/cotton dress designs, and a fancy cotton and silk tartan cloth, with threading drafts and pegging plans. The first page also carries dyeing recipes for wool, silk, cotton and hosiery, and an article on fixing alumina mordants on cotton, wool and silk.
