Two pages from the December 1880 Textile Record of America. They carry a series of fancy woolen and worsted cloth designs reprinted from The English Textile Manufacturer, each with design, pegging plan and draft grids, thread descriptions (yarn counts, warp totals, reed, fulling shrinkage, finish) and picking orders. The second page includes J. Seillon's article on double-faced silk tissues (satin face with faille reverse), translated from Le Moniteur des Soies, with reed count and weft allowance. The pages also include text on the Bradford worsted trade and French competition, wool scouring and the 'vital oil' of the fibre, and market reports.
