  • Excellent addition to the home textile library

    This is first of all a beautiful, well-researched and written book. I think it is best suited to spinners and weavers since much of the content describes fiber treatment prior to and during these processes. However, for anyone interested in textiles it is worthwhile. I would like to see an update on the sections concerning flax culture (which is returning on a small scale to the American South) and the possibilities of flax as an alternative to cotton given that it seems to have less negative impact on the environment. It would be interesting to add a section on linen's place in fashion both past and current as well as linen yarns in knitting.
