selvages



Does anyone know a good book or article on the history of selvages? I am specifically trying to find out why some wools have a different color selvage than the fabric and why some cottons, silks and linens have varying widths of blue stripes in the selvage area. I think the stripes may have something to do with a code for manufacturer or mill origin.

Would appreciate any suggestions and sources.

Thanx, Joan
