Recs if you like Vanishing Fleece: Adventures in American Wool...

Microhistories and niche non-fiction to make you go… huh?

Suggestions welcome

Books to learn about the history of knitting, embroidery and the political context in which this traditionally “women’s work” is placed

histories and stories of textiles, ceramics, beadwork, wood that shaped economies, storytelling, gender politics, and conquest

list is nascent so feel free to suggest additions in the comments 📝

books on the history of textiles and sewists, on the evolution of clothing, and on the overconsumption that drives fast fashion—and destroys the environment—and why we should all buy secondhand

Non-fiction stories about the way textiles intersect with our lives through art, history, textile industry, farming, or reflections on craft.
