Aha... looks like the topic has headed in a direction that I am very interested and currently looking into. What I'm trying to find is evidence of when wool and silk might first have been spun together to form a thread or yarn. Not that I'm making copious headway at the moment, but it's one of those questions currently being pursued.
Any have an answer? Thanks, Mari / Bridgette On 12/11/06, E House <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I couldn't quote you chapter and verse at the moment, but I've run across quite a few regulations/laws about mixing fibers & fiber content. From what I can remember, they all boiled down to either quality control, or truth in advertising, and a lot of them were pushed by whichever guild applied. The only source I can think of for examples at the moment is Mizzoui's cotton book, which I don't have, or possibly textiler hausrat, which ditto. -E House
