Textiles

by Sara J. Kadolph

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.

[Katelin · Rating 3 out of 5]

As far as textbooks go, this one was actually pretty good. The information was helpful and presented in a good way. Although sometimes I felt like it went way too in depth on some things, it was very helpful and very good at explaining challenging concepts.
