Although none of the luxury fibres, including silk, is produced in
large quantities, their particular and unique qualities of
fineness, softness, warmth and pleasurable handle mean that they
occupy a very important place in the luxury apparel and fine
furnishing trades.
This book covers all aspects of the growth, physical
characteristics, production, marketing and consumption of silk,
mohair, cashmere, camelhair, Alpaca, Llama, Vicuna, Guanaco, Yak
and Musk Ox fibres. The image of these fabrics is of course all
important and the book describes in detail those rare occasions
when a lower priced and lower quality version of a luxury fibre has
damaged its overall reputation. Some natural fibres covered here
including spider silk are also increasingly finding applications
within the technical textiles sector where their high performance
thermal properties and bio-mimetic qualities in particular, are
very useful.
This is an essential reference for all those involved in any part
of the luxury fibre trade.
