Textilepedia - The Complete Fabric Guide

Textilepedia is an extensive textile dictionary that covers all essential fabric knowledge – from deciphering different types of materials to understanding your finishing options. A balance between text and imagery; it acts as a quick easy-to-navigate guide – simplifying complicated fabric and fibre information using comparisons and relatable stories.

TEXTILEPEDIA helps to provide answers for your fabric selection:

• Light or heavyweight?
• Rough or soft texture?
• Breathable or not?
• Easy to drape?

The book is here to answer all those questions – and then some.

• Why do fabrics have different widths?
• What makes a fibre or fabric elastic?

• Are all-natural fibres sustainable?

Textilepedia brings a comprehensive knowledge of textile applications to you. From how to choose fibres, the formation of yarns, the characteristics of common fabrics, and the effects of textile finishing, the book serves as an all-in-one textile information hub.

When it comes to understanding textiles, information can be tricky to digest – even for designers who work with materials and fabrics every day. That’s why we made sure Textilepedia is presented in a highly-visual, and easy-to-understand way. By incorporating clear and attractive images, illustrations, diagrams and icons, information is a breeze to read, understand, and remember.
