Advanced Textile Design (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book delves into the intricate world of textile design and construction, exploring the fascinating and often complex methods employed to create various fabrics. The author goes beyond the basic weaves, focusing on compound and special cloths, where two or more series of threads are used in one or both directions, leading to a wide range of textures and effects. The book delves into the intricate art of stitching and tying, which binds extra threads to the face fabric, creating depth, weight, and durability. The text thoughtfully explores the principles of creating reversible designs, where the same weave pattern appears on both sides of the cloth, and discusses the techniques of backing, where additional threads are used to enhance the weight and substance of a fabric. The author also examines the various ways in which extra warp and weft threads are employed to create elaborate figured fabrics, showcasing the ingenious ways in which texture and pattern are intertwined. The book's insightful exploration of these complex weaving techniques provides a comprehensive guide to the structural intricacies of compound and special cloths, offering a valuable resource for textile designers and enthusiasts.
