Handwoven, May/June 1993
From batik to voile, 42 cotton fabrics are described in this informative reference book. A swatch of each fabric type accompanies information on its origin and manufacture, sewing and fitting characteristics, care, cost and wearability. Cotton's assets, such as absorbency, and its liabilities, such as susceptibility to mildew, are discussed. A short essay links the cultivation and processing of cotton to the history of the United States through the American Revolution, the Civil War, the Industrial Revolution and the current era. Glossaries of cotton terms and finishes, a list of the word for cotton in ten other languages, and mail-order sources are included.
