Two pages from The Textile Mercury of 14 May 1892 containing the weekly 'Designing' column plus unrelated items. The column gives a matting cloth specification with a colored stripe pattern, figured worsted mantling woven with warp and weft weaves and an 8-end diagonal, cotton blouse and dress fabrics on 8 shafts with pegging plans, and a 17-shaft gingham diagonal with warp and weft colour-repeat calculations. The first page also carries a note on new Geranine direct dyes, a patent-dispute letter about card-clothing side grinding, and short news items on fibres and a silk exhibition.
