'Textiles' which literally means 'woven material' is something that is made by uniting yarns or fibres together to form a mat or sheet of any unlimited length or width. The methods may be weaving, knitting, felting, bonding etc. From earliest times people have been using textiles of various types for covering, warmth, personal adornment, and even to display personal wealth. Dictionary of Textiles is a pioneering work, which contains all the terms associated with textiles. All the entries are judiciously selected from authoritative sources which makes this dictionary a reliable reference work.
