Two pages from The Textile Mercury, 15 November 1890, from the weekly "Designing" feature. Page 1 closes a review of Professor Beaumont's book on colour in woven fabrics (chapters on checks, simple and compound colourings, spots, double weaves, and figured textiles). It then presents two cotton vesting designs with sett, yarn and colour suggestions, a draft and a pegging plan. Page 2 gives Designs 197-200 for cheviots, woollens and worsted coatings, with notes on weave and colour combination, warp and weft yarn counts, reed and picks per inch.
