Analysis of woven fabrics
Analysis of Woven Fabrics is a 1914 London textbook by A. F. Barker and Eber Midgley, published by Scott, Greenwood & Son, aimed at textile students and mill technicians learning to read cloth structure. The pictures are plain line diagrams and magnified fibre photographs: a plain-weave interlacing drawing, a microscope view of two yarn threads with loose fibres, a grid of crosses for mapping pick positions, and paired weave-plan strips of squares. A designer might borrow the clean grid logic of the weave charts and the stark black-and-cream pattern of the interlacing.
