Fabric Reference includes lists of  links to its companion dictionary and swatch book, Fabric Glossary. Review Questions and Investigations for each main section encourage and further the essential application of technical information as study progresses. A unique perspective on textile science is presented by leading the reader from the detailed technical discussion of fibers, yarns, fabric constructions, and finishes covered by all texts to a consistent focus on the actual fabrics. Fabric Referencewill continue to serve as a valuable reference–even after a course of study is completed–in almost any area of work involving fabrics.
 
Besides covering the basics of how fabrics behave and why, Fabric Reference provides extensive information on care, testing, SI units, and textiles and ecology.

Caracteristici

For introductory courses in Textiles, courses in Fashion Design/Production, Fashion Merchandising, Visual Merchandising, Interior Design, and Costume Studies.
 
Fabric Reference is a guide for anyone who needs accessible information on today’s fabrics–how they behave and why. Designed as a companion book to theFabric Glossary, this book presents a complete and up-to-date source of the highly technical basics of textile science, from fibers to finished fabrics. Specially prepared graphics, illustrations, comparison tables, and flow charts make the process of creating modern fabrics clear to both students and instructors. This edition features more on nanotechnology, industrial textiles and other smart textiles and covers practical applications such as care, assessment and ecology.

Hallmark Features
 
Covers all aspects of textile production and behavior—such as fibers; yarns; weaves and knits; tufted, twisted lace; felt; nonwoven; natural fabrics; finishing; dyeing; printing and other applied design.
  • Gives students valuable exposure to a wide variety of textiles, providing them with a broad base of knowledge and preparing them to work with any/all fabrics in a professional setting. 
Offers a concise, accessible format—that is rooted in textile science but avoids challenging technical language.  
  • Allows students to gain valuable knowledge of a complicated subject without undue frustration.
Covers fabric care and assessment—including care instructions, assessment guidelines, and discussions on commercial cleaning, textile testing, quality control, dyeing, and more.
  • Builds students' confidence in predicting basic colorfastness and performance of today's materials, allowing them to make the best selection of fabric for the project at hand. 
Devotes a section to fabrics and ecology—see Ch. 7.
  • Explores clothing as environment (keeping warm or cool, protection from UV rays); discusses textiles, pollution, and recycling and other 21st century developments.
  • Covers for students an often ignored perspective that is emerging as a top concern for textile professionals. 
Includes a wealth of illustrations—such as photographs, bar and flow charts, and, computer scans of actual fabrics (many unraveled or arranged to reveal structure).
  • Allows students to grasp the process of the manufacture of fabrics with good visual cues. 
Focuses on terminology—and defines key terms throughout the narrative and in quick-reference glossaries.
  • Gives students a working knowledge of the language of today's consumer marketplace.
