Leno Jacquard Designing
Leno Jacquard Designing
Thomas Nelson · The Melliand, February 1931
Article · 4 pages · weaving drafts
A 1931 Melliand Textile Monthly article by T. Nelson explaining how to design for leno jacquard looms. It describes the Crompton & Knowles leno jacquard with its doup, ground and easer harness sections, how ends are drawn through the harness, and how the design must be split into three sections for doups, body and easers. It works through hook and needle allocation on a 600 jacquard and an English 400 machine, with an example leno fabric and its design grids.
Rayon Fabric Designing
Rayon Fabric Designing
Article · 2 pages
A short trade-journal article on designing fabrics that combine cotton with rayon as an embellishing yarn. It covers how often to bind the rayon filling into the cloth, balancing luster against durability, and developing the pattern correctly on the face of the fabric. Three photographed bedspread border samples illustrate defects: figures developed in the warp instead of the filling, diamond points that fail to join, and floats that are too long or too short.
