Book Description
This popular book, now in its 10th edition, considers textiles as the
materials used to create apparel, furnishings, and industrial products. It
approaches textiles from a product analysis approach, using professional
terminology, and provides examples to illustrate key concepts. Flow
charts on identifying fabric structure and naming fancy woven fabrics; other
fabrication methods; and knits have been added. Also included are tables
summarizing components such as fibers, yarns, fabric structure, and finishes. An
expanded glossary makes it easier for readers to find pertinent information. For
designers, technical designers, apparel engineers, and others in the
fashion/apparel business.
We recommend our
swatch set, The Textile Kit,
which correlates well with this textbook.
