Woolen and Worsted Woven Fabric Design

Today, it is as essential as ever to design, develop, and produce saleable and commercially sound woven fabrics within considerable financial restraints. However, in the teaching of woven fabric design, emphasis appears to have shifted away from the practicalities of cloth construction and design development. Written by a highly skilled and experienced woven fabric designer, "Woollen and Worsted Woven Fabric Design" provides answers to many of the technical and practical problems encountered in the development and design of woolen and worsted woven fabrics.The author addresses weaving processes, yarn counts, fabric weights, and design elements. In addition, formulae and calculations used in the weaving industry are clearly set out with numerous worked examples. Intended for everyone connected with the woolen and worsted weaving industry, especially those with limited industrial experience, this book is essential for new designers, technicians, quality controllers, and students within this sector of fabric design.
