The Illustrated Dictionary of Fabrics - Martin Hardingham

This is a reference book for anyone interested in or involved with fabrics. Essential for textile students, fabric buyers and home dressmakers alike, it provides a handy guide to the hundreds of fabrics made around the world. The dictionary is divided into the main fibre groups such as wool, cotton, silk, plant and man-made fibres. For each fabric, information is given about the place of origin, the process by which it is made, the material content and its uses. The many photographs and drawings provide a useful identification guide for the fabrics concerned. Copyright © Book Club Associates.
