Fairchilds Dictionary of Textiles (6th Edition)

Fairchild's Dictionary of Textiles is more than a dictionary of words; it is a dictionary of terms, often of several words used or once used in the textile industry to identify the thousands of fiber-based products employed for either consumer or industrial purposes, along with the fibers and production processes and major equipment required. The purpose of this dictionary is to provide a source of reference to people in all branches of the industry: producers, converters, distributors, manufacturers of equipment for the various branches of the industry, sales and advertising personnel, designers, researchers as well as teachers and students of textile courses in professional schools and colleges. Reference departments in libraries will find this volume an essential addition to their offerings.
