Two pages from The Textile Mercury, 29 November 1890, with the 'Designing' column on new fabric designs. Page 1 covers cut pile plaids or checks (Nos. 1 and 2), with pegging plans, drafts for 12 and 10 shafts, suggested setts, and colour combinations for warp and weft. Page 2 gives a figured dress or mantle cloth (Design 205, point-paper drawdown with weft flush figure and crape weave leaf) and a four-end twill fancy check with warp and weft sett and colour sequence. Page 1 also carries unrelated dyeing and finishing notes, including a satin finish for black Italian cloths and aniline black on cotton, plus the end of an article on electrolytic bleaching.
