Two pages from The Textile Mercury (24 January 1891) with the "Designing" feature. It presents an Indian silk-bordered dhooty from Loodianah, with a colour description and drawdown, followed by a tutorial on gauze (leno) fabrics. Three examples, Sketches A, B and C, are explained with point-paper designs, pegging plans and doup/heald drafts (Designs 8, 9, 10). Suggested fibre uses (cotton, silk, worsted, mohair) are given. The first page also carries unrelated trade news columns.
