Irene Emery's innovative construction of a comprehensive system for describing fabrics was recognised as a classic on its first publication in 1966.Foxing to title pages and pages 340 and 341. Tight binding, no marks or inscriptions. Minor wear to dust jacket. Great copy.
Based on years of study of a huge range of fabrics produced by hand or by strictly limited mechanisation, its essential strength is its universality. In this monumental work, the structures and the descriptive terms applied to them are clearly presented according to their logical relationships to each other, moving from the simplest to the most complex. The book is divided into three parts: the raw materials of fabric structures (filaments and fabric elements); the fabric structure themselves, whether felted or made from interworked yarns; and structures such as stitches or appliqué.
