Two pages from The Textile Mercury (13 February 1892) with the third installment of "The Analysis of Pattern," on weave analysis. It explains how to find the weave of an unknown cloth by pulling out threads and picks, and by synthesis. It sorts single cloths into ordinary makes, weft rib makes and warp rib makes, and uses micro-photographic diagrams of thread and pick curvature. A "New Designs" section gives drafts and pegging plans for cotton suitings (Designs A to G) with shaft counts, yarn counts, dents and picks per inch. The scan also carries unrelated trade items on wool mordanting, indigo valuation, and silk dyeing.
