A textbook and reference by Grace Goldena Denny (University of Washington) defining staple fabrics sold by the yard on the American retail market. Part I is an alphabetical glossary of fabrics and related terms, giving fibre, uses, weave and width, with photographs of swatches and weave structures. Later parts cover practical textile tests (fibre identification, lye test, yarn count, laundering and wear), a classification of fabrics by cloth structure and by store department, labelling of textile fabrics with Federal Trade Commission rulings, and a bibliography. This second edition adds rugs and carpets, knit goods, mechanical fabrics and imported drapery materials.
