A three-page "Designing" column from The Textile Mercury (May 2, 1891) presenting new fabric designs for woollens, worsteds, shirtings, ginghams and silk vestings. It gives warp and weft colour and yarn particulars, reed and picks-per-inch data, and drafts and pegging plans for Designs 36-39, canvas Oxford shirtings and fancy ginghams, plus a jacquard-type silk vesting design. Page 1 also carries unrelated trade commentary and a reader's letter proposing a woollen mill in Denver, Colorado.
