A two-page design column from The Textile Mercury of January 2, 1892, offering suggested spring dress-goods patterns (Designs A to D) for cotton cloth, with notes on yarn counts, reed and dent settings, picks per inch and colour combinations. It then covers novelties in woollens and worsteds (Designs 1 to 3), which use extra weft to make sateen-order spots and diamond effects on a twill ground, with suggested colourings. Drafts, pegging plans and swatch drawings accompany the text. The scan also includes the end of an article on a spinning machinery firm and a book review of a Bannerman diary and buyers' guide.
