A fire in Bronze Age Spain ~1450 BC destroyed a settlement — and accidentally preserved something almost never found: the actual wooden frame of a loom, still loaded with weights. New study in Antiquity reconstructs it. #Archaeology #BronzeAge #TextileHistory https://www.anthropology.net/p/a-bronze-age-loom-preserved-by-fire

I've been trying to learn more about the history/origins of #NeedleFelting (making three dimensional objects with wool by tucking or "felting" the fibers together with a needle, often barbed for the purpose).
Any #TextileHistory wizzes or #historian who knows more about this?
It seems so new, but why?

With working out how to restore my old Singer sewing machine I learned quite a bit about the mechnics of those machines - they are technical marvels.

Now I finally understand how a chain stitch machine works.

Found a treasure today.

While searching through my craft supplies I found a bag with the last pieces of #handwoven linen from my great (great?) grandmother. I'm not exactly sure if it was my dad's grandma or even a generation before, but family legend says it was handwoven by I've of my ancestors.

Two of the pieces are about large enough to make a small sofa pillow from them, the third is about double the size.

A remarkable testament to the resilience of Wari craftsmanship, this textile fragment reveals the intricate artistry and symbolism of a culture deeply connected to its environment. What stories lie within its faded patterns?

Weil ich zur Zeit alles mögliche über alte Nähmaschinen lese - in der ersten Ausgabe von Stiftung Warentest aus dem Jahr 1966 gab es einen sehr ausführlichen Test von Zickzack Nähmaschinen. 24 Geräte waren im Test, 6 davon stammen aus Karlsruhe - spannend, was man über seinen Wohnort so alles lernt ...

As I'm restoring my grandma's old sewing machine I watched a ton of YouTube about vintage machines.

The history of sewing machines is really interesting. Finally I understand how a chain stitch machine worked.

A very sad, heartbreaking story - I've never before heard of those forced sterilisations. I knew that Fujimori was a monster, but this detail member made it into the mainstream in Germany.

Textile boots from the 12th century offer a glimpse into the social hierarchy of their time, blending luxury fabrics and intricate patterns. How do you think such artworks reflect the cultural connections of the Silk Road?

This stunning Textile Fragment from the Moche civilization tells a story of resilience amidst natural disaster. The intricate motifs weave mythology with artistry, reflecting the cultural richness of ancient Peru. What secrets do you think this piece holds?

I already boosted this video yesterday, when I'd only watched a few minutes.

But this is so, so much better than I thought. It's powerful, beautifully told and very sobering. Very US centric (because of course, Evie is from the US and because a lot of the current problems are because of what's going on over there).

Yarn and textile is the vehicle, but it's about so much more.

🧵 Read the alt texts of the photos above about the #yarn's history. Here you can learn more about the history of this "more glossy than silk" patent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayon

This #emboidery #floss was a hype since 1905/1910 ... and we can imagine that some of the governesses who had the misfortune to be on board, used it for #embroideries in the luxury rooms of the #Titanic.

I was at this #GatherFiberSymposium event yesterday, and we all yearned to be at the protest. But I will say that hanging with artists was really good for my soul. Artists are taking no shit.

Anyway: so many great events coming this month if you like textile arts. And our #IpswichLace event made the #Boston Globe today.

#WIPWednesday and my experiments in reproduction lace continue.

I'm trying to replicate the lace from this baby cap in the MFA #Boston. but I don't know how wide it actually is. So I'm testing out some versions.
