- Terms & Definitions
Textile people really do speak their own language. And besides the terms used in spinning, we also need to understand the terms fiber producers use. And then the dyers and weavers definitely have their own language.
If you think of terms that should be added (or definitions changed), please send me a note through Rosemary Brock.
