At the textile Conservation Centre, now in Glasgow, UK a student written her thesis on the subject. Ca.2003(?) but she also presented the topic in a confernce in Southampton (again with TCC) on 2005(?)
If you contact the TCC will give you the name and contact details of the conservator and her thesis. A copy of this is with the university itself.
