About This Book

The work presents a practical handbook on the science and technology of textile colouring, explaining optical theories of colour, attributes and temperature of hues, and laws of contrast and harmony; it surveys methods for blending coloured fibres, mixing warp and weft, and creating stripes, checks, mixtures, and figured effects across woollen, worsted, cotton and silk fabrics. Detailed chapters cover tinting of single, backed, and double cloths, pattern development, and a scheme for colour standardization. Numerous technical illustrations and coloured plates reproduce woven samples and provide actionable guidance for designers, manufacturers, and students of textile colour.
