Everson Hall, Textiles and Clothing Economics Laboratory, Home Economics Building. The Textiles and Clothing Economics Laboratory in the new Home Economics Building on the Davis campus of the University of California. Individual student work spaces at tables and along window contain microscopes, slides, and other equipment for studying textile weaves, thread counts, and fibers; and equipment for running chemical tests on fabrics to determine whether they are made up of cotton, silk, wool, synthetic fibers, or mixtures. The loom is used for teaching the principles of weaving and how the basic weaves are produced. In the textiles display on the right are some of the new weaves containing both synthetic and natural fibers. The display at the left shows the various natural and synthetic fibers, and some of the textiles made from them.
