Employment of other weaves than thetwill and mat give equally satisfactoryresults. Such makes are, of course, multi-plied in proportion to the ingenuity of the designer. Theexample considered is but a type of the numerous stylesobtainable in this four-and-four colouring by havingrecourse to designs of a combination class. 131.

They are mainly employed when well-pronouncedpatterns are required in fine yarns, in which instances theyyield far more effective styles than the schemes of shadesfrom which they are derived. Then, in fancy woollens ofa tweed character whose surfaces are a mass of loud andbold checks, these orders of colourings are invaluable. Inboth worsted and cotton dress and tweed mantlings theyare also used extensively.
