Fancy Stripe Combinations.—Designs of this classfor worsted trouserings, cotton textures, and tweedmantlings, are frequently very intricate in both weave andcolour composition. Indeed it follows as a naturalsequence that if a striped design is richly diversified inweave arrangement, it will be correspondingly complex incolouring. Probably a greater degree of art knowledgeand weaving ingenuity is requisite in the origination ofthis type of woven design than of any other description of. textile effect. Not only in a weave, but in a textural andcolour relation, is there extreme intricacy of technical con-trivance in these fabrics. First, a uniform texture isindispensable; second, this quality must be obtained in con-junction with elegant and novel weave effects ; and, third,the arrangement of colouring adopted must be harmoniousin shading and in accordance with the structure of theweaves combined. 175.

It is workable onfourteen healds, the plan of drafting being as follows :Threads 1 to 14 straight drawn, then shafts 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1,7, 8, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, and 9.
