Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 January 2022

Extract

A major controversy in textile and carpet studies concerns technical and structural terminology; there are currently several nomenclatures employed. The following glossary refers to specific structural and technical terms presented but not otherwise defined in the text of this volume. It is not intended as a compendium of textile terminology. In this context, techniqueis defined as oneoftheprocesses involved in the actual production of a fabric, e.g., knotting. Structure refers to the relationship of the elements of a finished fabric, e.g., knot count. Bold italicized terms noted inter alia are defined separately under their own entries.
