NOTES
Narrator: Paula Elser
This program is a fast paced introduction to fabric science. Viewers learn about fabrics that repair broken hearts, stop bullets, fight fire, stop water, and enable people to fly. They tour a textile mill and watch raw acrylic become fabric. This program teaches how to recognise the basic weaves, how fibers become yarns, and how fabric is made by traditional hand looms as well as high speed computerised machines. (Learning Seed, USA)
