Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from d104ile Fabrics Under its widest acceptation the word textile means every kind of stuff, no matter its material, wrought in the loom. Whether, therefore, the threads are spun from the produce of the animal, vegetable, or mineral kingdom whether of sheep's wool, goats' hair, camels' wool, or camels' hair 3 whether of flax, hemp, mallow, or the filaments drawn out of the leaves of plants of the lily and asphodel tribes of flowers, or the fibrous coating about pods, or cotton; whether of gold, silver, or of any other metal the webs from all such materials are textiles. Unlike these are other appliances for garmwt-making in many countries; and of such materials not the least curious, if not odd to our ideas, is paper, which is so much employed for the purpose by the Japanese. A careful reference to a map of the world will show us the materials which from the earliest ages the inhabitants of the world had at hand, in every clime, for making articles of dress. In all the colder regions the well-furred skins of several families of beasts could, by the ready help of a thorn for a needle and of the animal's own sinews for thread, be fashioned after a manner into various kinds of clothing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Design in Textile Fabrics The rapid disappearance of the old apprentice system, the growth of large establishments, and the consequent subdivision of labour, accompanied by the ever-increasing demand for fabrics of a more artistic character to be applied to useful purposes, make it imperative upon the would-be designer or manufacturer to understand more fully than he has done in the_ past the principles upon which fabrics should be constructed, so as to fulfil all the necessary conditions. He must work on sound principles and leave nothing to chance. The reader must not expect to go through this work in a hurried manner, or to thoroughly grasp all the details of the subject without further effort. Within the compass of this volume it is, of course, impossible to enter into all the particulars which would make the student at once perfectly conversant with the whole; but an effort has been made to-lay down the leading principles clearly and completely, and to guide the student generally, rather than to enter too closely into minor details, which can onlv be sufficiently mastered by actual practice in the mill or workshop.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Household Textiles Books on the subject of textiles have usually been written from the standpoint of the manufacturer or of the textile chemist. It has been the purpose of the writer to bring together in this book the general facts of most interest to the consumer. Those points have been chosen which will give a broader understanding of the textile market and aid in the selection and use of textile fabrics. Technical terms and manufacturing processes have been given only in so far as they give a general understanding of the conversion of fibers into cloth and throw light on the possibilities of adulteration. Information has been gathered from many sources, from books, government reports, visits to factories, shops. And museums. Suggestions and references for a more extended study have been given.

Download or read book The Dyeing of Textile Fabrics Classic Reprint written by J. J. Hummel and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dyeing of d104ile Fabrics The object of this Manual is to provide the teacher and student of Dyeing with a useful text-book giving exact scientific and practical information. It is intended also to supply the Dyer with explanations of the scientific principles involved in the operations of his art, in order that he may take a more intelligent interest in his work, and be stimulated to criticise it, and to determine, by means of well-devised experiments, whether his methods are rational and incapable of improvement, or the reverse. Certain details have been furnished relating to the mode of applying the various Colouring Matters and Mordants, but these must not be regarded as fixed and unchangeable receipts, but rather as starting-points for further experimental work. The Art of Dyeing being a special branch of Chemical Technology, no apology is offered for leavening the work with a wholesome amount of chemistry. The Dyer is especially urged to make himself acquainted with the general principles of chemical science, for assuredly the more such knowledge is brought to bear upon every detail of the art, the more rapid will be its progress. It seemed necessary to give the somewhat complex chemical symbols and scientific names of the Coal-Tar colours in order to identify them, since, in the course of time, many of the present commercial names may be replaced by others, or applied to colouring matters not yet introduced.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Textile Fabrics of Ancient Peru In open work, and especially in that variety intended as a foundation for embroidery, what is known as the twined combination is employed. In this the woof threads are twined together in pairs, inclosing in each half turn one of the warp threads. In this way the mesh is firmly fixed, after the manner of a net. This combination is not adapted to the weaving of compact cloths, nor to the introduction of varied orna ments. It is much used in basketry. A number of varieties of combination are sometimes employed in a single piece, all being woven into the same warp. It is also very usual, as already noted, to see cloths made up of variously woven and diversely colored sections stitched together.

Download or read book Textile Design and Colour written by William Watson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-27 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from d104ile Design and Colour: Elementary Weaves and Figured Fabrics An exhaustive treatise on the designing and colouring of textile fabrics has been found by the writer to be much beyond the scope of a single volume, and this book deals chiefly with cloths that are composed of one series of warp and one series of weft threads. The subject is continued in a second volume - entitled Advanced d104ile Design - which treats on compound and special classes of cloths. In the following pages the construction and combination of simple and special weaves, the structure of standard classes of cloths, the theories of colour, and the application of colours to textile fabrics are described and illustrated; while the designing of ordinary figured fabrics, to which eight chapters are devoted, forms a very important section of the work. d104ile calculations, and the principles and limitations of weaving machinery, so far as they concern woven design, are fully dealt with. The illustrations form a distinct feature in both number and quality, and there are 413 figures which include over 1800 different diagrams, designs, and representations of woven fabrics. The chapters on the designing of figured fabrics have previously appeared in the form of serial articles in the d104ile Recorder, while the section on colour and weave effects has similarly been published in the d104ile Manufacturer. The writer is indebted to the editors and proprietors of these journals for encouragement in the preparation of the articles. In re-issuing this matter in book form many of the original illustrations have been used, bat opportunity has been taken to carefully revise the text, and to introduce new examples. And to the matter which has been previously published eleven chapters have been added, in order to make the book a complete work on the designing and colouring of the simpler classes of cloths. To the publishers and printers the writer wishes to express his indebtedness for the regard they have had to his wishes in the preparation of the book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Analysis of Woven Fabrics I feel that I should not be doing justice to those who have followed me did I not here pay some tribute to the work that has been carried out by lecturers in that department of the Bradford Technical College over which I have the honour to preside, and especially to the research work of Mr. Midgley, without which the present treatise would have lost much of its value. At the: time when I wrote my little treatise I could but give a skeleton-sketch of the methods whereby a fabric might not only be analysed in the Finished State but from these Finished Particulars the Loom Particulars ascertained. In the present treatise so fully are the changes from the Finished State back to the Loom Particulars for the various standard-cloths indicated that the designer may proceed without fear where previously he would not have ventured to tread. Mr. Midgley has also succeeded in bringing the Costing of Cloths up' to a previously unthought of state of efficiency. The present treatise may be regarded as a further step towards the more perfect application of scientific method.

Download or read book A Text Book Dealing with Ornamental Design for Woven Fabrics Classic Reprint written by Charles Stephenson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-24 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Text Book Dealing With Ornamental Design for Woven Fabrics HE primary reason why the authors undertook the writing of this work on Ornamental Design for Woven Fabrics is, that they felt the want, when teaching, of some book where the subject was systematised and specially dealt with. In planning it out we have been guided by our experience of the difficulties met with by students in local weaving schools, believing that the same may also be felt by others. It is not intended to cover the whole subject of Orna mental Design, that having been already written upon in many excellent books, and the ground has perhaps been well covered; but for the purpose we have in View, these books may be considered too general for students devoting themselves to 'one special branch of Technical Design, the information they desire being lost amongst so wide a field of material. It is hoped that our efforts may bring the necessary knowledge within a narrower focus and thereby make it more easily accessible; the consecutive order in which the matter is presented may also be helpful to students, designers, and manufacturers of textiles, in forming clearer ideas on the artistic side of Textile De signing than they would otherwise be able to obtain from the books published on the subject of Ornamental Design in its broader aspect.
