Two pages from The Textile Mercury of 28 May 1892: part XIII of the series "The Analysis of Pattern," on the weights of cloths, plus a "New Designs" section on cotton shirting. The analysis article gives worked examples of calculating yarn weights for fancy fabrics with two materials and for true crammed stripes, a general formula relating counts, width, length, and ends or picks per inch, and the ways of changing cloth weight. The shirting section describes two dobby/Jacquard shirting designs with pegging plan, draft, warp and weft particulars, and suggested weft colours. The first page also opens with dye recipes for various fibres and a short editorial on dyers and rubber proofers.
