Two pages from the Textile Mercury of August 9, 1890, in the "Designing" column. They give new designs with setting details: three Indian gingham patterns (Woozzoor, Madras) with warp color sequences, an Indian silk counterpane from the Punjab, and a figured dress fabric (Design 172) on a 2 and 2 twill ground with flushing threads imitating leno. A section on tweeds gives delicate neutral colorings, yarn counts, reed setting and finishing advice. The top of page 1 carries trade news on Turkey carpet imports and mill news from Germany, Austria and India.
