The book has been prepared considering the dire need of the students. It is indeed intriguing to note that no text books are available, that cover the entire sequence of processes in the area of weaving preparation. Students therefore had to refer to a number of books. The unique feature of the book is that it meets the syllabi requirements of the universities/polytechnics. The book is divided into four divisions, namely, winding, warping, sizing, and drawing. A special chapter has been devoted to the preparatory aspects of micro denier yarns. Also the latest BTRA norms are included. This makes the book very valuable to students. The topic on winding covers all the basic aspects of the winding process, technological developments, winding aspects of sewing threads, and winding of packages for dyeing. The section in warping discusses about the types of warping, productivity, quality related aspects and modern developments. The section on sizing deals with the basic process, principle, chemistry, developments and quality control. The readers will find the book to be very useful for teaching as well as learning.
A HANDBOOK OF WEAVES. Originally published in 1911. An extremely practical and comprehensive handbook consisting of the principles and methods used to produce a huge range of different styles of weaves. Many of the earliest books on weaving, textiles and needlework, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
This pioneering work revises our notions of the origins and early development of textiles in Europe and the Near East. Using innovative linguistic techniques, along with methods from palaeobiology and other fields, it shows that spinning and pattern weaving began far earlier than has been supposed. Prehistoric Textiles made an unsurpassed leap in the social and cultural understanding of textiles in humankind's early history. Cloth making was an industry that consumed more time and effort, and was more culturally significant to prehistoric cultures, than anyone assumed before the book's publication. The textile industry is in fact older than pottery--and perhaps even older than agriculture an...

The second edition of this standard work on the subject explains the processes of modern clothing manufacture and describes the equipment used to carry them out. Recent developments as well as established methods are described for cutting, sewing and other methods of joining materials and pressing. Manual, mechanised and automated methods are considered as well as the applications of computer control and robotics to clothing production. Redrawn illustrations improve clarity and many new photographs show new generations of equipment. The book takes account of the increasingly market-driven nature of the industry, as well as technical and economic constraints and the skill requirements of operating in a labour-intensive situation.
