The following resources have been helpful to me on my ongoing journey in understanding how we relate to the fibers in our lives - how they are produced, used, consumed, and what happens to them after they no longer serve their first (or second, or third) function. I hope they spark your curiosity!

Books:

  • The Golden Thread: How Fabric Changed History by Kassia St. Clair

  • Women's Work: The First 20,000 Years - Women, Cloth, and Society in Early Times by Elizabeth Wayland Barber
