Some things to remember in judging fabrics
A 1929 United States Department of Agriculture publication from Washington D.C., produced by the Bureau of Home Economics and Office of Cooperative Extension Work to teach homemakers how to judge textile quality. The pictures are black-and-white photographs of fabric close-ups, showing weave density, broken yarns, and a hand testing a cloth, with captions posed as questions. A designer could take from them the look of loose plain weaves, frayed threads, and tactile fabric testing as texture references.
