Whilst searching for some textile blogs, I found these that I think are worthy of sharing. Great eye candy for sure and so wonderful to see recognition for fibres still produced in the traditional way. It also made me think that I need to tart up my blog posts a bit – I’m feeling a little pedestrian really…
Anyway, it goes without saying that if you want detailed, learned textile sources then John Gillow’s “World Textiles” would be a handy reference (check Book Depository's excellent selection of craft books) and a good place to start.
Now, for some colour and 18th century style, lets visit Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia, United States. First, the Dye Shop and then the Ladies Dress Shop.
