I don't know if this counts as a textbook, but I think Claire Shaeffer's "Fabric Sewing Guide" has all the information you
mentioned. It's a great book!
My copy was published by Chilton Book Company in 1989. ISBN: 0-8019-7802-5
Happy sewing,

I know some of you teach or have taught textile classes, and it is you to
whom I come with a request for assistance:
I am in the process of writing up a pair of fiber classes (Fibers 101 and
102) and I am looking for a textiles textbook with useful discussions of
fiber properties including hand, drape, shrinkage, all that good stuff. I
have had Kadolph & Langford's _Textiles_ recommended to me as the one
that's used at the U of M(innesota)--are there any others that people
might recommend?
