Two pages from The Textile Mercury of 6 December 1890 (pp. 392-393) with design notes for manufacturers. The first page gives a fancy silk spot design for vestings (8-shaft draft, 32-end pegging plan, yarn counts, reed and colour combinations) and six twilled linen dress check and stripe patterns on a six-end twill. The second page discusses novelty designs for woollens and worsteds, mainly warp-backed cloths, with Designs 206-208 shown on point paper and sketches of the effects. The first page also has the end of a piece on Navajo weaving, a reader's letter on cotton spindle growth, and a query and answer about New Zealand flax.
