Summary

"It's lovely to be inspired by soft furnishing books but what has been disappearing from their pages is the technical knowledge needed to make the right choices. From Fibre to Fabric fills this gap, as a comprehensive sourcebook that also contains elegant and sumptuous images. Chapter 1 examines the variety of fibres available, their origins and unique characteristics. Section 2 shows how the fibres are then turned into fabrics, by spinning, weaving and printing. The third and final chapter shows how fabrics are used in the home, with valuable advice on what to choose for curtains, upholstery, cushions and trimmings."--Provided by publisher
