Pattern Design.—This style of pattern results solelyfrom the methods of grouping fancy warp or weft yarns, orboth these elements of textile fabrics. It may be appro-priately designated Colour to distinguish it from Weave design ; for, if the colours are removed fromsuch patterns, all effect is destroyed. Colour here yieldsboth the form of the design and the beauty of the type of textile designing is more extensively utilized thanthis, for the styles resultant are characterized by neatnessand almost universal utility. Pattern design relates not onlyto the artistic grouping or blending of shades, but to theirarrangement. The latter is a factor which has to be suited. Fig. 5. to the build of the weave. The same plans of colours arecapable of yielding quite distinct effects in two differentweaves. Figs. 5 and 6 plainly demonstrate this importantprinciple of textile colouring. The arrangement of threadsand the colours of the yarns in both illustrations is thesame, but in the former the weave is plain, and in thelatter cassimere twill; and this dissimilarity in the con-struction of the weaves results in the formation of the twodifferent patterns sketched. The plain make so determinesthe crossing of the warp and weft yarns, that the whitepicks always float under the black threads and over thewhite threads, while the black picks always float under thewhite and over the black threads, hence the solidity of the ELEMENTS OF TEXTILE COLOURING.—STRIPES. 127 respective lines of colour is uninterrupted, and a patternproduced of a simple stripe order. Coming to the twillweave, it distributes the colours differently. Firstly, itallow
