I was at a used book store, and while their selection of sewing books was limited (well, nonexistent they had a surprisingly large collection of books on textile production. Being trained as a scientist and a known fabric junkie, I couldn't pass up a book that contains both molecule line drawings and descriptions of how embossed fabrics are made. Here's a peak:
 |
| Books about fabric production. |
From
Textile Fabrics and Their Selection:
 |
| Discussion on hand screen printing. |
 |
| Harvesting silk from silkworms. |
From
Textiles:
 |
| Schematics of fiber shapes. |
 |
| A wool molecule! |
 |
| Information about how knit fabrics are made. |
 |
| Rollers used to make embossed fabrics (cool!). |
Ok, I think everyone knew I was a fabric-o-holic, but now the real truth is out - I am a total fabric nerd.
