Three pages from The Textile Mercury, 9 May 1891, with the "Designing" column of new fabric designs for manufacturers. It gives warp and weft colour sequences, sett, yarn counts and pegging plans for fancy twilled ginghams, a fancy striped cotton check, worsted coatings, low woollen novelties, zephyr stripes and muslin or lace-striped zephyr. It also describes an Indian counterpane from Hoshyarpur, Punjab, a reversible red and white cotton double cloth, with a drawdown of its centre and borders, and discusses weave modifications A-F. The first page also carries an editorial on English versus American calico printing and a short book review.
