Two pages from The Textile Mercury, January 1891, centered on a 'Designing' column with new fabric designs: a 16-shaft fancy diagonal with sett suggestions for vestings, trouserings and jackets, a Dhootie border design in Hindu-inspired style, and a fancy silk vesting on a nine-shaft satin ground. A following section, 'Novelties in Worsteds and Woollens', explains how to produce diagonal stripe effects with 2-and-2 twill and weft rib/corkscrew weaves, giving warp and weft counts, reed and picks per inch. The first page also has the end of a book review on cotton machinery and rope driving, and a 'Foreign Correspondence' letter on the US textile trade and the McKinley tariff.
