Two pages from The Textile Mercury of 13 June 1891. The "Designing" section gives a cotton trouserings design with warp and weft colour patterns, and a series of fancy weaves (Designs A to J: twill and crape checks, 10-end sateens, weft ribs, wave weft rib) drawn from Les Tissus, with suggested setts and yarn counts. It ends with a fancy vesting for cotton and silk goods, with a 48-end draft on 6 shafts, pegging plans for stripe and check, and colouring details. The first page also carries the end of a piece on the Coventry silk trade and dyeing, and a New York letter on U.S. textile trade matters.
