Two pages from the 1892 Textile Mercury containing two pieces. The first, "Designing," gives mill specifications for new cotton designs: a five-shaft satin shirting stripe, gingham checks on four shafts with several warp color patterns, eight-shaft straight-draft ties for fancy cloths, vestings and trouserings, and zephyr stripes. The second, part VII of "The Analysis of Pattern," covers gauze fabrics, explaining how to mark stationary and crossing threads, doup and doup shaft on point paper, how to draft and peg gauze, and how to reduce the number of doups. Drafts, pegging plans and gauze diagrams are included.
