Joan Kiplinger's review of the 3rd edition at fabrics.net To obtain the Fabric Glossary Swatch Set, designed for use with the Fabric Glossary (4th ed.), please contact Susan Lichovnik (Contact info at bottom of this page). FABRIC GLOSSARY SWATCH SET This is a swatch set with a difference: it provides a fabric example for each of 115 major Fabric Files (which contain an additional 11 separate sub-Files). These files act as a unique fabric dictionary. They also define or explain, describe, and provide black and white illustrations for some 600 textile names and terms. However the Swatch Set has also been designed (and examples selected) to represent all the components of fabric study as followed through in most textbooks. This is particularly true for Fabric Reference, where the appropriate Fabric Glossary Files are cited as an illustration of characteristics of various fibers, yarns, fabrics and finishes, including dyeing and printing effects, when each of these is discussed. To guide the student or instructor using Fabric Glossary independent of Fabric Reference, there are 8 full pages of Swatch Applications Listings. These indicate which swatches provide good examples of major fiber types; most kinds of yarn, including novelty yarns; all categories of weaves, knits, and constructions such as tufted, twisted lace, felt, nonwoven, stitchbonded, and others; fabrics whose character is made by finishing processes, e.g., napping; stages and effects of dyeing; types of printing and other applied design.
