Crinkle, Wrinkle, and Fray.


Textures take over fall's coolest clothing

Noisy nylon, frayed fabrics, and nubby knits are just some of the 10,000 textures you'll find lurking in your favorite stores this season. There are no texture taboos, so you can get all match,/with nylon on nylon or go the non-uniform route by pairing high-tech nylon with low-tech hand knits, mohair mohair, hair of the Angora goat or a large group of fabrics made from it, either wholly or in combination with wool, silk, or cotton. The Angora goat, native of Asia Minor for 2,000 years, is bred in other lands, e.g., the SW United States and South Africa. . Tempted by textures? Keep your eye out for other stylee-making surfaces like leather, corduroy corduroy, a cut filling-pile fabric with lengthwise ridges, or wales, that may vary from fine (pinwale) to wide. Extra filling yarns float over a number of warp yarns that form either a plain-weave or twill-weave ground. , lace, and metallics.
