A pocket reference for wool, worsted, union, cotton and silk cloth designers, issued by the American Wool and Cotton Reporter in Boston around 1912. It opens with about 280 numbered design plates of weaves on point paper, including twills, corkscrews, cut weaves, double cloths, rib and plait weaves, followed by explanations of each weave. The remaining chapters give calculation rules and tables for fabric diameters, threads, reed, picks, yarn counts and shrinkage, binding of double cloths, range tickets, finishing, figure weaving, reducing harness by cross drawing, and transposition of weaves.
