The fabrics represented three weaves: plain, twill and leno; and three colors: white, eggshell and turquoise. The fiber contents, according to the manufacturers, varied from 20 per- cent "Rovana ", 56 percent "Verel" and 24 percent rayon to 49. 3 "Rovana ", 30. 5 percent "Verel" and 20. 2 percent rayon. Chemical analysis revealed that all of the fabrics varied from the manufacturers' stated fiber contents. A Fade -Ometer was used to test for colorfastness to light. Although no fading was visible to the eye, the plain weave fabrics of high "Rovana" content showed the greatest color change according to a Gardner Color Difference Meter. White fabrics and broken twill weave fabrics were modified also. Washing had little effect on the colors. Shrinkage was most pronounced in the filling direction and was due chiefly to laundering. Fabrics fabricated in a broken twill weave of approximately 30 percent "Rovana" exhibited slightly more shrink- age than the four percent allowance recommended by the American Hotel Association. The remaining fabrics shrank only approximately one percent. Fabrics appeared to be most affected by 63.

Unfortunately, this is not an unmixed blessing. Products are constantly being improved, but designs are complicated, quality is vari¬ able, and good advice is hard to get.

    Identifying Woven Textiles 1750–1950 DATS in partnership with the V&A 1 Identifying Woven Textiles 1750–1950 This information pack has been produced to accompany two one-day workshops taught by Katy Wigley (Director, School of Textiles) and Mary Schoeser (Hon. V&A Senior Research Fellow), held at the V&A Clothworkers’ Centre on 19 April and 17 May 2018. The workshops are produced in collaboration between DATS and the V&A. The purpose of the workshops is to enable participants to improve the documentation and interpretation of collections and make them accessible to the widest audience. Participants will have the chance to study objects at first hand to help increase their confidence in identifying woven textile materials and techniques. This information pack is intended as a means of sharing the knowledge communicated in the workshops with colleagues and the wider public and is also intended as a stand-alone guide for basic weave identification.

    ENVIRONMENT DECLARATION 2016 Drago Spa Environment declaration 2016 1 “EXCLUSIVITY AND QUALITY CREATED TRUE ENVIRONMENTAL RESPECT AND THANKS TO THE EFFORTS THAT EACH OF US PUT IN EVERY SINGLE ACTIVITY” Lessona, 29th November 2016 Drago Spa, increasingly attentive to the constant evolution of the development process and renovation of all business activities, works to ensure that all the various process steps, both internal and external, are carried out with a view to eco- sustainability in full compliance with environmental respect and of the existing norms, thus achieving excellence through the overcoming of standard values. Drago Spa started with this project in cooperation with some important customers since 2016 in order to develop and implement new programs for environmental safeguard; this will bring inside the Biella Company to a significant evolution reaching very important targets. This project will be supported by the usage of new technologies that can reduce consumes and improve both on a production basis as well as on quality. CEO Paolo Drago 2 LAL LAL ESTATE In 1842 or 43, Peter Inglis purchased Warrenheip Station near Ballarat and in 1846 he purchased the adjacent run of Lal Lal. In 1846, 17 years old Archibald Fisken was placed in charge of the two stations, which later carried 6,000 head of cattle. Gold was discovered on a portion of the Warrenheip run. With the huge influx of gold seekers to the Ballarat goldfields after 1851, Fisken was able to find a ready market for his cattle. He (or his uncle Peter Inglis who is named as the purchaser on the Parish Plan) purchased 10,000 acres of the land when auctioned.
