Today it is as essential as ever to design, develop and produce saleable and commercially sound woven fabrics within considerable financial restraints. However, in teaching woven fabric design, emphasis appears to have shifted away from the practicalities of cloth construction and design development. This practical handbook provides explanations and answers to some of the technical and practical problems encountered in the development, design and manufacture of woollen and worsted woven fabrics.
