We use the Fairchild Textbook: "Fabric Science", 8th ed. by Price, Cohen, Johnson. Has a workbook with swatches. Pretty technical, but no color pics like "Textiles" by Kandolf.

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? Many thanks, Jen _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
