Good resource
"At a recent guild meeting a senior member gave a talk on the properties of fiber and recommended this book as a resource. The first sentence is "We will become better weavers if we understand our raw materials" and the rest of the book just provides the facts we would need to answer any question we might have when working with protein/cellulose/manufactured fibers. How strong is this fiber vs that fiber? What level of heat can wool handle when washed? Which fibers can tolerate abrasion or sun exposure better? What about wrinkling or elasticity? With a little bit of fiber history thrown in for good measure. Lots of interesting and useful information!"
