Good overview for textiles, 12 Aug 2005
By eliza - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fabrics: A Handbook for Interior Designers and Architects (Norton Professional Books for Architects & Designers) (Hardcover)
If one is studying interior design or one wants to learn about textiles, this book is very informative. This was used as a textbook for a textiles class in an interior design program.
I recommend this book.

BroadBased Knowledge, 12 May 2007

This review is from: Fabrics: A Handbook for Interior Designers and Architects (Norton Professional Books for Architects & Designers) (Hardcover)
Well-organized and informative general reference on textiles for home or commercial use. Also has a great references section. Pictures are helpful, but I'd also recommend having a "hands-on" source in order to get a better understanding of all of the terminology and descriptions.

Everything you need to know about furnishing textiles . . ., 19 Sep 2009
By T. Russell "T. Russell" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fabrics: A Handbook for Interior Designers and Architects (Norton Professional Books for Architects & Designers) (Hardcover)
As a new student in interior design, I've found Mary Paul Yates's treatment of the material very helpful. She starts out with aesthetics, knowing that if she jumped right into yarns and fibers we might be turned off or intimidated. The coverage of color, light and lighting, texture, pattern and market appropriateness are all crucial considerations for the professional. A short chapter on sustainable design follows; an apt attention to the "green" concerns that are becoming more and more important to responsible occupants of planet Earth. We then learn about the fibers that make up the yarns that make up the fabrics, and their many characteristics which an educated designer must definitely know. Lest one would think she is fully informed, there are eight more important chapters, starting with fabric structure (wovens, knits, embroideries, bondeds, casements and laces, etc.)and ending with professional practices (fabric selection, costs and budgets, order-writing and "guidelines and pitfalls"). With abundant, colorful photographs, educational illustrations and an excellent glossary, this book is both informative and easy to read, and it's hard to imagine any client asking a question the thorough reader couldn't answer.
