5000 Years of Textiles

摘要

The overwhelming impression I was left with, after many hours of fascinating reading, is that this book is extremely good value for money! It is an accessible and comprehensive study of textile developments over history, lavishly illustrated and of considerable interest to both textile students and keen hobbyists. Opening chapters briefly explain the textile techniques which will be explored more fully in the main text; weaving, tapestry, rug weaving, embroidery, lacemaking, dyeing and printing, knitting, netting, knotting and crochet, feltmaking and bark cloth are all covered.
