 A NOTE ON THE WEAVING OF 
 MORRIS FABRICS. 
 
 The production oi coarse woollen serges, decorated by 
 
 hand, was one of the first undertaknio-s of the original 
 
 historic firm of "Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co.," and 
 
 specimens of such early efforts m tapestry were exhibited 
 
 in the great Exhibition of 1862. It was not, howe\ er, 
 
 until late in the se\enties that \\^illiam Morris succeeded in 
 
 obtaining a Jacquard hand-loom of the old pattern, then 
 
 \'irtually extinct, and began to design for it the wonderful 
 
 series of fabrics in figured silk, silk and wool, silk and linen, 
 
 and pure wool, which ha\ e helped to effect the great 
 
 modern re\olution in decoratn e taste — a re\ olution which

is only partially set back by the present re\ersion to tasteless 
 extravao-ance and the fashion for antique and alien styles. 
 
 Since 1 88 I, when the Merton Abbey works were acquired, 
 hand-weaving has been one of the staple industries of the firm, 
 and the illustrations which follow gi\ e but a " thumb-nail " 
 idea of the richly coloured curtain and furniture materials 
 produced upon the Merton looms. The \egetable dyes 
 which are principally used gi\ e to these fabrics a quality of 
 pure colouring, quite different from the muddy-looking hues 
 which are \ulearly known as " art shades," and quite as far 
 remo\ed from the usual manufacturer's dyes. Both silks and 
 tapestries are made of the purest materials obtainable, and 
 will outlast all the modern machine-made fabrics in which 
 cheapness has been obtained at the cost of a gradual and 
 increasino- cieo-eneration. 
 
 Dealing with these hand-wo\ en materials, Mr. Aymer 
 
 Vallance says in his "Art of ^^'illiam Morris" : — 
 
 " Morris drew a number of designs tor silk damasks and brocades and 
 woven wool-tapestries, as well as a limited number tor fabrics ol silk and 
 linen, and ot silk and wool. The latter combination, as in the case of 
 the ' Dove and Rose ' material — quite apart from the beauty of the 
 design — has an additional beauty of texture which is peculiarly delightful ; 
 the weightier substance of the wool drawino- the slio-hter-bodied surface of 
 the silk into delicate ripples upon which the light plays with charming 
 effect. The ' Bird and Vine ' is a beautiful and characteristic design in 
 woollen tapestry, and the ' Peacock and Dragon' (see coloured illustration), 
 in the same material, is a large pattern for which the artist himself had a 
 special liking. One more example may be selected from the productions 
 of a later date, viz., the diagonal woollen tapestry named the ' Trail.' 
 The imit of this pattern is as simple as can be — a conventional leaf and a 
 single spray of flowers ; yet the richest etlect is obtained by the simple 
 but ingenious device of varying the colour of the woof threads, so that 
 the flowers appear alternating horizontally in red, white, and pink. The 
 general colour of the web is a warm green in several tones."

 The " Bird " Tapestry is one of Mr. Morris's best known and most 
 widely admired fabrics. The walls of his drawing-room at Kelmscott 
 House were huno- with the blue way of it, in slio-ht folds, and no more 
 beautiful material for this purpose, or for portiere and curtain hangings, 
 could be desired.

 The "Tulip and Net" is one of hve well-known Morris designs 
 which are woven two yards wide, making a good curtain breadth or 
 portiere without joining. Tlie light indigo colouring of this makes it 
 a rival favourite to tlie " Bird " tapestry. It is extensively used for church 
 hangings as well as for domestic purposes.

THE MORRIS PRINTED VELVETEENS. 
 
 N.B.— These make remarkably rich and bright hangings to go with the Morris chintz 
 furniture coverings. They wash and clean perfectly, and will last for years. For cheap 
 materials nothing equals them in effect.

 tities, of any special fabric that a customer ma\' wish copied.

THE MORRIS WORKS AT MERTON ABBEY. 
 
 " Even to tlic present day, as one turns out of the dusty high road 
 and passes through the manager's httle house, the world seems left in a 
 moment behind. The old-fashioned garden i 
 
 s gay with irises anc 
 
 daffodils in spring, with hollyhoeks and sunflowers in autumn, and full, 
 summer by summer, of the fragrant flowering shrubs that make a London 
 suburb into a lorief June Paradise. It rambles away towards the mill- 
 pond with its fringe of tall poplars \ the eottons lie bleaehing on grass 
 thickly set with buttercups ; the long low buildings with the clear rushing 
 little stream running between them, and the wooden outside staircases 
 leading to their upper story, have nothing about them to suggest the 
 modern fiictory ; even upon the great sunk dye-vats the sun flickers 
 through leaves, and trout leap outside the windows of the long cheerful 
 room where the carpet-looms are built."
