Mar 05 2010 | Textile Information Course - It's a material world!Posted by timyeomans in Weaving , Tim Yeomans , Textiles , Textile Institute , Knitting , Finishing , Dyeing |
This month I learnt some interesting things, not least that fabrics are now being used on roads nowadays. It's true: A thin layer of polypropylene is applied to the road's surface to improve its cohesiveness. The source of this and other fascinating facts was the Textile Information Course, provided by the Textile Institute, which is based in Manchester and was established in 1925. The Institute has members in over 80 countries and are experts in the areas of textiles, clothing and footwear and this is the first Information Course they have run in several years.
