About this product

Product Information

Keeping people warm for four centuries, wool has had a surprising impact on America. Its colorful and epic tale has impacted millions of lives, from immigrants, slaves, and Native Americans, to farmers and advertisers. Learn little-known but fascinating facts about US society's changing relationship to wool - for example, how huge flocks of sheep were driven to the California gold fields to feed hungry miners, and why sheep grazed on the White House lawn during World War I. A story of technological and social change, marketing forces, and our choices as consumers, Wool is a must-read for anyone who has knitted (or worn!) socks, woven a piece of cloth, or curled up with a warm wool blanket.

Reviews
"As a production weaver using an industrial loom, the author of this interesting history of wool as a commodity in the USA enjoys an interesting perspective... This is a worthwhile non-academic read, even if you do not live in the USA" - Christina Chisholm, Online Guild, 2018, "Like that broadcloth from England that we couldn't live without 200 years ago, this wide perspective is an essential. Now we have our own 'broad' cloth, capturing our love and appreciation of wool's value." --David Ritchie, Green Mountain Spinnery
