Watsons Textile Design And Colour Elementary Weaves And Figured Fabrics

Watson’s textile design and colour: Elementary weaves and figured fabrics was first published in 1912 and has been revised several times by the original author and a number of other well respected textile experts. This edition revised by Z Grosicki has been rewritten, reorganised and new approaches have been added to allow a clear understanding of the nature of woven structures. Watson’s textile design and colour is a comprehensive treatise on simple woven cloth construction and design.

ADVANCED TEXTILE DESIGN. PREFACE THE designing and colouring of cloths, which are composed of one series of warp and one series of weft threads, are exhaustively treated in the accompanying book, entitled "Textile Design and Colour, Elementary Weaves and Figured Fabrics." This book forms a continuation of the subject, and deals in an equally complete manner with compound and special cloths in which two or more series of threads are employed in one or both directions, or which are produced in special methods. There is no separate section on colour, but the principles upon which colours are applied to the various classes of cloths are described and illustrated. Many branches of Textile Design need specialisation, and with this object in view, and as an aid to the adequate treatment of each branch, a large proportion of the matter contained in this work has been specially prepared in the form of separate serial articles which have appeared in textile journals. Originally published in 191
