A two-page extract from The Textile Mercury of 23 May 1891 with a trade column on new fabric designs. It gives a draft and pegging plan for a canvas or porous cloth, with warp and weft particulars (20's twist warp, 25's linen weft, reed and pick counts) and finishing advice. It also lists dress lining patterns with warp stripe sequences, 5-shaft and 7-shaft satins and a 5-shaft twill, then discusses colour-and-weave effects in woollens and worsteds and gives Design 44, a twenty-shaft weave with draft and example yarn set-ups.
