A "Designing" column from The Textile Mercury with textile design notes for manufacturers. It covers a worsted twill with warp and weft rib (Design 191), a fancy dress stripe in cotton and silk with two pegging plans and drafts, two cashmere twill gingham patterns with colour sequences, and a cut double cloth (Design 190) with warp and weft particulars. Page 1 also carries trade news and book reviews that precede the column; the design charts and drawdown appear on both pages.
