Describes fibers microscopically

Appears to be written for a high school home ed class. What I don't like about this book is that it gives no footnotes, no references, no patent numbers, no bibliography or any other material 'for further reading' suggestions. It has a few diagrams and pictures showing the spinning and the weaving process, but not nearly enough for me.

Everything you wanted to know and more

This is a well written and thorough background on textiles covering everything from basic definitions to complex scientific properties of fiber types.

Good introduction to Textiles

I used this book for an introductory class about textiles. While at times the book was a bit wordy (I felt many things could be said in fewer words) it was generally easy to read and comprehend. Its a good introductory book to the world of textiles and I have no doubt I will continue to use it throughout my career as a Merchandings, Apparel, and Textiles major.

Great text

This was an easy textbook to follow when I took my textiles class. It is very informative and interesting.

Excellent insight for Seamstress

I had been searching through all of the sewing books I could find to learn more about the nature of fabric and fibers...and everything I could possibly want to know was here, and more. Absolutely fascinating. It is a textbook, but was written clearly enough that anyone with an interest in the area can easily understand it. I've been teaching classes to costumers and members of the local American Sewing Guild, who are equally impressed with the knowledge we got from this book.

Connecting Textiles and Science

I use this book as the text for teaching a basic textiles course for sophmores. This text provides a sound foundation for students understanding the textiles and the science foundations that are the base for predicting textile performance. Every line is packed with information; there is no fluff in this book. If you want to understand WHY textiles and textile products perform in specific ways, this is the book to buy.
