Fabric Glossary

About this book

Fabric Glossary offers a unique dual aid for anyone studying working with or interested in textiles. It is a fabric dictionary covering some 600 textile terms to address the most-frequently asked question "What is it called?" It distinguishes fabrics one from another by name construction details and origin all visually enhanced with clear photos. Many of these show the fabric "dissected" to reveal significant or essential aspects of structure. At the same time it serves as a swatch book allowing for the mounting of actual samples of fabric which are the best possible illustrations of any individual material.
