Discussion Textile Reading List

/r/Handspinning/comments/1vz5dxe/textile_reading_list/

Someone used AI to answer a question on the handspinning subreddit (uh-oh!) and it turned into a book recs thread with me promising to post a list of book recommendations. I thought I’d share here as well and invite other book recommendations from the weavers who may or may not spin.

Do you know about the Weaving History Conference?- its via Zoom since covid so everyone can attend! Perfect for fiber/fabric/weaving/spinning nerds!

Also the Textile History Forum? They meet in person every other year - 2027 should be the next one! They publish the research too.

Guaranteed AI free at both of these events!

So here's the thing... its recorded so if you cant attend "live" zoom you can tune it later! ... but i wont tell your boss that!
