Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive guide to designing textile fabrics, introducing foundational concepts, advanced techniques, and innovative styles. It begins with a foundational framework by presenting the three main classes of weaves: plain, twill, and satin, then progresses into more complex topics like fancy effects, drafts, and weaves derived from the primary groups. The author explores figured effects produced by varying colors in warp and filling, introduces rib weaves, explains their construction, and examines their use in combination with other weaves. The book also covers oblique rib weaves, and basket weaves, and explains how to produce figured effects in plain weaves. It delves into advanced topics such as drafting and distinguishes between different types of drawing-in drafts and chain drafts. The book's detailed explanations and illustrations provide a structured approach to understanding fabric design, making it suitable for students, designers, and anyone interested in textile design.
