Textiles 5,000 Years
Read or skimmed maybe half. It took me too long to actually get to it, while sitting at the bottom of my pile, before I could no longer renew it. I went in search of a book on textiles to see what I could learn of the history of making clothing. The question wasn’t quite answered but I did enjoy the information on how culture influences designs.
