A foundational technical reference in the field of textile engineering, Textile Design and Colour: Elementary Weaves and Figured Fabrics presents a comprehensive and authoritative study of weave structures, fabric construction, and the principles of colour as applied to woven textiles. The work systematically instructs readers in the fundamentals of elementary weaves—including plain, twill, and satin constructions—before advancing to the more complex territory of figured and decorative fabrics. Written with the precision and clarity expected of a professional technical manual, it details the mechanics of loom operation, draft notation, and the interplay between structure and visual effect in finished cloth. Revised and updated by Eric G. Taylor and James Buchan to reflect developments in the field, the text remains an indispensable resource for students, designers, and practitioners in the textile industry. Its methodical, no-nonsense approach makes it as practical on the workshop floor as it is in the classroom.
