Textile Technology Series 1
The term 'textile' is often used as an another word for clothes, but in reality textile refers to any object produced from fibres. Items as diverse as carpets, T-shirts, parachutes, hats, ropes, bullet-proof vests, bags, tents and lingerie are all products of the textile industry.
An understanding of textiles arises from knowledge of where, why and how textiles are used, and the way in which the components of textiles are modified and combined to produce a finished product.
Hence, a study of textiles unifies fields of study as diverse as climatology, chemistry, physics, sociology, economics, and, of course, art and design. These worksheets provide an overview of a diverse range of issues related to the study of textiles.
This new second edition of Introduction to Textile Technology features teacher reproducible worksheets on the following topics:
- introduction to textiles
