The Woven Road

Virginia’s fascination and wonder both sparked and mirrored my own, in this deftly woven reminder of the critical role the drive for textiles have played in human history. The Fabric of Civilization gave me a fresh perspective on the diverse implementation of fiber, the identity and traditions conveyed, and of the unforeseen scientific achievements that were built on the shoulders of textiles. -Meadow Coldon, The Woven Road

In this episode, Meadow and Lucas explore some of the science behind modern textile technologies, including the strongest fabric in the world. We’ll also enable you to some fancy tea in this episode’s segment of the Thirsty Crafter, as well as a UK based crochet pattern designer that makes us all finally able to create our own museum.

In this episode, I’ll share some new knitting, spinning and pottery projects I’ve been up to, I’ll enable you to some tea, and art batts, as well as a new wine and yarn pairing. I’ll share some details about the sheep shearing school I participated in, and more!
