The Golden Thread: How Fabric Changed History
by Kassia St. Clair
I highly recommend this book to anyone who has even the slightest interest in textiles - whether you sew, knit, crochet, are interested in fashion, champion sustainable through reducing textile waste, or what have you.
I loved The Secret Lives of Colour, so when I learnt Kassia St. Clair was writing another book, this time on fabric, I was so excited to read it, especially because this coincided with the time I decided to start making my own clothes.
I’ve always been interested in textiles, and growing up I had a vague understanding of what was good fabric and especially which fabrics were worth the money. Reading this book and learning to make clothes has given me a deeper appreciation for the work that goes into making textiles, and how they can be manipulated into something to wear.
