Two pages from The Textile Mercury of 7 February 1891 (pp. 98-99) containing the 'Designing' column. It gives a new 21-shaft design for fancy Oxford and Harvard shirtings, with pegging plans and a detailed warp colour and draft sequence (80 ends per inch of 24's twist, 64 picks of 16's weft). It continues a series on the finishing of woollens, covering weaving, scouring and milling, and ends with a note on novelty double cloths (Designs 11 and 12) combining a 2/2 twill worsted with a plain woollen stripe or check. Short trade notices and letters to the editor about cotton disputes, cotton drawing and loom queries are also on the pages.
