Book · 341 pages · weaving drafts
A 1914 technical treatise on analysing woven cloth, written by two Yorkshire textile teachers. It covers raw fibres and yarn qualities, yarn count and cloth weight calculations, setts, weave analysis, drafts and pegging plans, and the effects of dyeing and finishing on wool, union and cotton cloths. It explains how to work back from a small finished sample to loom particulars, with worked examples (worsted costume cloth, mohair lustre, double cloth, corduroy, colour-and-weave cloths), quick methods, fibre analysis, costing and wage lists. It ends with a glossary of fabric terms, an appendix of weaving price lists and a publisher's catalogue.

Book · 345 pages
A 1902 English translation (by Chas. Salter) of Georg von Georgievics's textbook on the chemical technology of textile fibres. It covers the origin and structure of vegetable, animal and other fibres, then washing, bleaching and carbonising, mordants, dyeing, printing and dressing/finishing. Dyeing is the main chapter, with sections on each dye class and on dyeing machinery; there are 47 illustrations, mostly microscopic fibre drawings and machine diagrams.

A 1920 pattern book of eight pillow (bobbin) lace designs for church use, by M. E. W. Milroy.

Each has a materials list (bobbin counts, Knox's Falcon linen thread), a photograph, pricking diagrams and numbered step-by-step instructions in cloth stitch, double stitch, ground stitch, plaits and Honiton-style borders. The introduction gives practical advice and prices for prickings and finished lace.
Colour-Matching on Textiles
Colour-Matching on Textiles
Book · 175 pages
A 1901 manual by David Paterson for dyers, calico printers and textile colour chemists on matching dyed colours on textiles. It covers colour perception and the structure of the eye, the qualities of daylight, simultaneous contrast, reflected versus transmitted-light examination, and the effects of fibre lustre, transparency and dyestuff optics such as fluorescence. Later chapters treat colour-blindness, tinted films as matching aids, silk trimmings, artificial illuminants (electric arc, magnesium, acetylene, Welsbach, gas), and absorption spectra explaining why shades that match in daylight differ in gaslight. It has a coloured frontispiece, diagrams, photographs, an index, and publisher's advertisements at the back.

The Finishing of Textile Fabrics
The Finishing of Textile Fabrics
Book · 278 pages · weaving drafts
A 1909 technical treatise by Roberts Beaumont of the University of Leeds on the finishing of woollen, worsted and union cloths after weaving. It covers scouring, milling (fulling) and felting theory, raising with teazles and card wire, cutting, pressing, and lustring, with descriptions of finishing machinery by makers such as Kilburn, Bailey and Tomlinson. Much of the work examines how yarn structure, fibre type and weave structure (plain, twills, sateens, backed and double cloths) affect shrinkage and raising, illustrated with photographs, micrographs, tables, weave plans and healding drafts. It ends with finishing routines for specific cloths and an index.
