Two pages from the Textile Mercury (March 7, 1891) with the 'Designing' column of new fabric designs for cotton and worsted manufacturers. They give sett, yarn counts, warp and weft colour patterns, drafts and pegging plans for a fancy cotton stripe, uncut corduroy cloth, summer vestings, fancy dress spot, and worsted designs 18 and 19. The text also discusses colour in Scotch tweeds for men's wear and urges designers to take inspiration from nature.
