Establishing a reference
Textile notes describe the visual and tactile qualities of woven, knitted and layered surfaces. The direction of a weave can affect its appearance. A useful working note records the context and the purpose of the study. Keep the details that explain what was noticed, and distinguish them from ideas that emerged later.
Describing the setup
Lighting helps reveal the relief of a textured surface. When revisiting a series of observations, begin with the original context. Record the order of the work and keep the first descriptions alongside any later interpretation.

A sample is useful when comparing colour and handle.
Care requirements differ between materials.
Reading the first observation
The next pass through textile textures focuses on comparison. A sample is useful when comparing colour and handle. Look for the relationships between the details and retain enough context for another reader to understand the study.
