The choice of weave, type and thickness of yarn, and pattern have an
enormous impact on the final appearance of clothing. A garment made of
denim or tweed may have the same cut, but they will each have a very
different look and feel from one another. This book and CD-ROM set
draws together reproductions of some 250 textile weaves, reproduced
(and, where needed, enhanced) in such a way as to make them suitable
for sketching, either by hand or digitally. This selection has been
made with fashion and textile designers in mind, but, of course, the
images are also very suitable as backgrounds for graphic applications
and web design.
