An introduction to the study of textile design
A 1903 New York textbook by A. F. Barker, an introduction to textile design aimed at students and weavers, with its pictures built from numbered weave drafts, grid diagrams and thread-interlacing charts. The plates show twill and double cloth structures as dark and light squares on graph paper, so a designer can borrow the pattern logic of woven geometric repeats, checkerboard blocks and diagonal interlacings.
