Two pages from The Textile Mercury, 21 March 1891, with a 'Designing' column of colour-and-weave patterns for woollen and cotton cloth. It gives warp and weft colour arrangements for galateas and spring shirtings (four shafts, cassimere twill), then fancy dress stripes and fashionable checks on six shafts with pegging plans and drafting instructions, and a worsted coating check (Design 23). The pages also include the continuation of an article on the finishing of woollens (raising, cutting, boiling and crabbing, pressing) and short news items on Levant wool and spider silk.
