A March 1898 article by the Bradford correspondent of the Indian Textile Journal on making cheap low worsted coatings in the Yorkshire heavy woollen district. It describes three constructions (worsted warp with shoddy weft, worsted warp with cotton and shoddy weft, and a two-beam cloth with worsted and cotton warp), giving ends, reeds, picks, yarn counts and drawdowns for 10- and 12-shaft weaves. It also covers the origin of mungo and shoddy and gives 12-shaft honeycomb-type dress goods designs with colour and yarn details.
