Description
J.J. Pizzuto's Fabric Science Swatch Kit, 12th Edition reinforces the study of textiles for students in courses such as Fashion Design, Fashion Business, Merchandising, Fashion Retailing, Interior Design, Textile Surface Design, Textile and Apparel Product Development, and Textile Production Management.
The kit contains 114 (2"x 3") fabric samples, a fabric key, 32 special assignments, heavy-weight sample sheets to mount and analyse fabrics, and a pick glass—all contained in a three-ring binder. The swatches are organised in the order in which they are covered in the text: fibres, yarns, weaves, knits, dyeing, printing, and finishes. Swatches represent the types of fabrics currently available to fashion and interior designers in the field, making this resource an excellent addition to any professional library.
Key Features Include
- The text contains instructions and video tutorials that take students through the process of assembling their swatch kit and using a pick glass.
- A Fabric Key identifies the swatches by number and fabric name, description, and fibre content.
- Assignments are designed to reinforce the text and classroom lectures and have been developed by FIT instructors to broaden students’ understanding of key concepts in textiles through hands-on labs and problem-solving activities.
- Students will successfully develop keen observation, analysis, and report writing skills.
- J.J. Pizzuto’s Fabric Science Swatch Kit is an ideal companion to J.J. Pizzuto’s Fabric Science, 12th Edition (ISBN 9781501367878, available as a separate purchase) or can also be used alone or in conjunction with any textiles textbook.
Fabric Science Swatch Kit STUDIO Resources Include
- Watch videos with step-by-step demonstrations on how to compile the swatch kit.
Instructor's Resources
