TREATISE ON THE Designing and Construction Woven Fabrics. Originally published in 1906. This manual provides extensive infomation and detailed explanations of the construction and manufacture of simple and special fabrics. Many of the earliest books on weaving, textiles and needlework, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high-quality, modern editions using the original text and artwork.
