From the earliest weaves uncovered by archaeologists to today s
machine-produced, scientifically advanced fabrics, textiles have
had a profound influence on civilization. As technologies change
and world economics influence the direction that fashion and
textiles take, it is vital that both skills and our textile
vocabulary should be kept alive. This encyclopaedia is a definitive
reference guide to all the major types of fabric in circulation
today, from abbot cloth to zibeline. In clear and engaging
language, the author describes and illustrates more than 600 of the
most important examples, from classic tweeds to state-of-the-art
nano fabrics. Each entry includes a brief definition, informative
notes on structure, and a list of uses. More than 700 color
illustrations show a fabric s weave, texture, and other defining
characteristics at a glance, and helpful diagrams demonstrate the
structure of the most important types of textiles. The book
concentrates on textiles in current use, but it also covers obscure
or obsolete terms that one might come across and that might still
have something to teach today s designers, manufacturers, and
textile historians. Each entry is carefully cross-referenced, and
the book includes an extensive glossary and bibliography.
