One of the best known early occurrence of houndstooth is the Gerum Cloak, [2] a garment uncovered in a Swedish peat bog, dated to between 360 and 100 BC. [3] Contemporary houndstooth checks may have originated as a pattern in woven tweed cloth from the Scottish Lowlands , [ 4 ] but are now used in many other woven fabric aside from wool.
The correct "choice of appropriate fabric color/texture is critical if the textile ground is translucent or if the fabric is expected to compensate for future losses.” [6] Overview: Localized loss including holes, wear, and tear require stabilization. Implementing localized supports such as patches or fills.
A dog's coat is composed of two layers: a top coat of stiff guard hairs that help repel water and shield from dirt, and an undercoat of soft down hairs, to serve as insulation. [1] Dogs with both under coat and top coat are said to have a double coat. Dogs with a single coat have a coat composed solely of guard hairs, with little or no downy ...
Wrinkle-resistant or permanent press or durable press is a finishing method for textiles that avoids creases and wrinkles and provides a better appearance for the articles. Most cellulosic fabrics and blends of cellulosic-rich fabrics tend to crease or wrinkle. A durable press finish makes them dimensionally stable and crease-free.
Fabric protection minimise the fiber wear, maintain fabric appearance by reducing fiber pilling, reduce colour loss, inhibiting the deposition of fugitive dyes onto the fabric during the washing process. [15] For a blood stain, soak the fabrics in cold water and wash it in the laundry if the stain is fresh.
Colour fastness is a term—used in the dyeing of textile materials—that characterizes a material's colour's resistance to fading or running.Colour fastness is the property of dyes and it is directly proportional to the binding force between photochromic dye and the fibre.
The fading of one of the pigments leads to a tone shift towards the component with better lightfastness. If it is required that there will be something visible from the printing, even though its dominant pigment would fade, then a small amount of pigment with excellent lightfastness can be mixed with it.
If two heterozygote merle dogs are mated, on the average, one-quarter of the puppies will be "double merles", which is the common term for dogs homozygous for the longest versions of the merle alleles, [12] and a high percentage of these double merle puppies could have eye defects or be deaf. Knowledgeable and responsible breeders who want to ...
