Red Crown
NEW. Our 'True Brit' tea towels have been designed by our experienced in-house designers, as the perfec gift for all occasions for anyone who is proud to be British, and a great idea for street parties, or any patriotic themed events or celebrations.
As with all of our products, these tea towels are produced using the finest quality colour print process, in which the fully photographic image is actually dyed into the fibres of the material, to give a vibrant photo quality image which will not fade or wash out.
Machine washable, and suitable for tumble drying.
Please note - photo printed products produced with this high quality printing process, have to be printed on polyester, due to the requirements of the print technique. The fabric used is a heavy weight high quality fabric, however polyester material does not have the same capacity to dry items that 100% cotton tea towels have, therefore photo tea towels are designed more as a photo gift item than a practical usable towel. They function as tea towels, but not as well as those which are made from 100% cotton fabric.
Turnaround time: We will endeavor to have your order dispatched the same day (except our 'True Brit' cushions, which are made up by hand individually & therefore take longer), with orders placed before 1.00 pm. However please allow up to 7 days, to allow for busy periods.

A MOLLE system compatible garment has a lightweight attachment structure with a skeleton of horizontal bands connected by a few vertical bands. The horizontal bands are thus accessible from both the interior and the exterior permitting accessories to be attached to either side of the garment. The bands may be sewn with regularly spaced vertical seams to each other or to a plastic substrate. The horizontal bands are connected with supportive vertical bands which serve to retain the shape of the garment, and which do not interfere with the regularly spaced loops of the horizontal webbing bands. Conventional accessories can be attached to both the interior and the exterior of the garment. | textile_science |

Microfibre is out, there are some water problems with cotton as well, so I rediscovered the knitting hemp I had in my stash. Last night at midnight, I started knitting a new set of diagonal kitchen cloths while I watched cooking videos.
My hemp is from EcoYarns and it's a better choice for me. Hemp lasts a long time, it will not shrink, stretch, fade or pill, and it gets softer after each wash. According to the EcoYarns site, "Hemp is environmentally friendly as hemp production needs no herbicides or pesticides, has low water requirements, produces 2 – 4 times more fibre per area than other sources and maintains a healthy microbial life in the soil. Hemp is naturally resistant to damp, mould, bacteria, moths and silverfish.
I have proudly had EcoYarns as one of my blog sponsors for many years.
I'm halfway through my first cloth, I'll knit four or five and that should set me up for the year. I'll continue to use the microfibre and cotton rags I have for household cleaning and will throw out the microfibre when they're completely worn out; I'll never buy them again. I'll add the old cotton cloths to the compost heap to decompose and be reused in the garden.
I'm using the hemp you see in the photo - 8 ply and size 4 needles. You can make them as small or large as you like and if you make them all the same size, with hemp, they'll stay that size forever. This is the extremely simple pattern:
Cast on 4 stitches
Knit 2 rows
Knit 2, Yarn Over, Knit to the end (If you don't know Yarn Over, look on You Tube, it's REALLY simple.)
Repeat the last row until you have 47 stitches or to the size you want
Now to decrease:
Knit 1, Knit 2 together, Yarn Over, Knit 2 together, Knit to the end
Repeat this row until you have 4 stitches left
Knit 2 rowsCast off
My other craft project at the moment is editing the embroidery on a cushion cover that Tricia made me. She used an old woollen blanket and stitched on the Australian Coat of Arms. I didn't like the way the kangaroo and emu looked so I unpicked and restitched them. (I told Tricia I was doing it and she was fine with it.) She's made a few of these Australian Coat of Arms projects - usually as tea cosies, and I've loved them since I saw the first one she did.
I really like the little balls she stitched along the edge. They're a great way to recycle little bits of cloth leftovers. She bundles up a small amount of fabric, encases it in a piece of cloth and stitches it up like a little sack. Then they just need to be stitched onto the project. They give more character than pom-pom fringe and you can use up all those little scraps you usually throw out.
I've been meaning to let you know about my new sewing machine. I'm not sure now if I told you about buying an Elna 40 a few months ago but since then I've been sewing up a storm. I LOVE the new machine. There is a slider to decrease or increase the speed of the machine so I slipped it right back to slow and taught Jamie how to machine sew, as well as hand stitch. Every element on the machine, except the automatic needle threader, work extremely well. I've given up on the needle threader but I'm good at threading needles so it doesn't bother me.
The stitches are firm and even, the needles always finishes above the fabric when I stop and even when I did some shirring, which I'd never done before, it worked perfectly. It's a great machine and it only cost about $300, I forget the exact price.
Jamie's just gone home so when I finish this post I'll get back to my craft projects while I watch The Kimberly Cruise (slow TV) on SBS. We had chicken with coleslaw and salad for lunch and we'll just have a small snack later so it's all systems go for my stitching and knitting. I hope you're enjoying the weekend and doing something you love. | textile_science |

There’s a horse in your suit jacket, did you know that?
Well, if your suit jacket is constructed with what’s called canvas, then the statement above is true to an extent.
But I’m getting ahead of myself a bit.
This week, we’re talking suit construction. More specifically, we’re talking about what I would call the very foundation of a suit jacket – whether the suit has a fused or canvas-style construction.
This is important because the drape and “hang” of your suit will be directly impacted by its construction technique. This includes how the suit conforms to your body over time and how it will stand up to dry cleaning.
Is one method inherently better than the other? Well, it really depends on what your needs are.
On our suits webpage you may have noticed that we offer what is called canvas horse hair construction. So, what exactly is that?
Horse hair canvas is springy, but strong and resilient, and is used to develop that “soft roll” when shaping garments. This is in stark contrast to a crease – something that is common in off-the-rack suits.
It’s actually made from horse hair that has been fused together to create a thin sheet. Much like your suit fabric, it’s cut to the appropriate pattern and then stitched with the fabric. Since we are a Colorado company, allow me to explain this further in terms of cold weather coats. When you buy a warm ski jacket, you’re generally going to have two parts – the outer shell (water and tear resistant) and the inner layer that is more about keeping you warm via insulation. Similarly, men’s suits typically have two layers – the outer wool fabric and the inner canvas. The job of the canvas is to keep the shape of the suit.
The takeaway is that horsehair canvas has some integrity. That it stands up on its own (say, when folded over) and will help give your suit jacket some life.
And at BE, our canvas construction is always treated with cold water to keep the canvas from shrinking.
Many manufacturers have gone the way of fused construction. This method involves fusing an interlining to the woolen shell. Early industry attempts at fused construction have led to mixed results. Critics like to point to “bubbling” in jackets – a phenomenon that occurs after repeated dry-cleaning where the fused material will delaminate (the glue losing its adhesion) resulting in an unsightly rippling of the fabric.
But like so many things in life, a fused jacket is not just a fused jacket. That is, some manufacturers have developed very adequate techniques for manufacturing fused jackets.
At BE, we are very pleased to say that our fused jackets have never shown any signs of bubbling. They have shown excellent shape and contour.
So, what does all of this really mean? If you’re in the market for a suit, you’re going to need to make a decision. If you’re on a budget, then a fused construction will save you some money and still serve as a great introduction to bespoke suiting.
However, to get the real experience of what a fine suit can be, we recommend opting for a full-canvas construction. The coat will have life, hold its shape superbly, and best of all, it will conform to your body after repeated wearings.
If you’re looking for the best looking suit available, one that will conform to your body and last a very long time, then there’s no doubt that a full canvas suit is the best pick. There’s a lot of history behind horse hair canvas construction, and the fact that industry is still manufacturing men’s suits in this way, is a testament to the inherent quality behind a canvassed suit jacket.
Have more questions on this topic? Here’s how to get in touch with us.

Fill a sink or basin with warm water and add a small amount of mild detergent.
Place the durag into the water and use your hands to gently agitate it, making sure to fully immerse it.
Let the durag soak in the water for about 5-10 minutes.
Rinse the durag thoroughly with cool water to remove any soap residue.
Squeeze out excess water from the durag, but do not wring or twist it.
Lay the durag flat on a clean towel and roll up the towel to absorb any remaining moisture.
Hang the durag up to air dry, avoiding direct sunlight or high heat.
Note: Avoid using bleach or fabric softener on a durag, as these can damage the fabric and decrease its lifespan. It's best to hand wash a durag, as machine washing and drying can also damage the fabric and alter its shape. | textile_science |

This patented process makes the Adipotex products the most effectiveintelligent textile garments for reducing the figure as well as the most long lasting and therefore the products that offer the best quality / price ratio.
Long Lasting = Better Value
Thanks to the exclusive Novarel Slim technology we can guarantee the presence of microencapsutaled active principles in the fabric after more than 100 washes.
If washed after every two days of use, an Adipotex garment can last for around 200 days. Almost 7 months of continuous effectiveness.
If to treat, for example, the abdomen, buttocks and full legs, we use a reduction cream cosmetic product, we would need at least 8 x 200ml pots for the same 7 months of treatment.
This would cost more than € 200.
For much less than this you can buy an Adipotex garment that as well as helping you save money, will let the active product penetrate the skin much more progressively and intensely and therefore will achieve much better results. | textile_science |

- Place patch on garment, embroidery facing up.
- Heat the iron and set it to “wool” setting.
- Cover the patch with a damp press cloth and press firmly for 10-15 seconds. DO NOT LET THE IRON TOUCH THE EMBROIDERED SIDE DIRECTLY.
- Turn garment inside out, and iron the back of the patch for 15-20 seconds.
- Let cool for a minute. If edge of patch can be lifted, repeat steps above.
To ensure that patch stays in place after several washings, we recommend securing the edges of the patch with a few stitches. | textile_science |

The curved lines are an illusion. In truth they are simply straight sloping lines. The only difficult thing about this project is working out where your colours go.
Khanam’s Surprise is the full bed size. It is possible to make a larger quilt simply by making more blocks.
Playing with Khanam is a single block cushion using the same block.
Both patterns are included.
Although I hand pieced Khanam’s Surprise a friend has machine pieced it and found it an easy quilt to make.
If preferred you could simplify the design by using less colours such as shown in the cushion, but why not try to use all of those fabrics you have been collecting over the years.

We loved the association with industry, production, fabric and weaving. Hand crafted, yet industrialised. Building technology often feels like cutting cloth or creating a tapestry.
It was only after founding Loomery that we discovered the importance of the loom to the history of computing.
The Jacquard Loom - a revolutionary invention
Historically a loom needed two people to operate: a weaver and a ‘draw boy’, to handle the thread. The work was slow and labour-intensive and complex patterns were difficult to accomplish.
In the early 1800s, a French weaver and merchant called Joseph-Marie Jacquard changed that. His Jacquard machine, when attached to a loom, made it possible for complex and detailed patterns to be manufactured by unskilled workers in a fraction of the time it took previously. It revolutionised how patterned cloth could be woven.
Punch cards weaving patterns
The key to the success of Jacquard's invention was its use of interchangeable cards, onto which small holes were punched, which held instructions for weaving a pattern.
With these punch cards, Jacquard looms could quickly reproduce any pattern a designer could think up, and replicate it over and over again.
From Jacquard to Babbage to Lovelace… to IBM
Jacquard's invention transformed patterned cloth production, but it also represented a revolution in human-machine interaction in its use of binary code—either punched hole or no punched hole—to instruct a machine to carry out an automated process.
These interchangeable punch cards inspired the design of early computers. Charles Babbage knew of Jacquard machines and planned to use cards to store programs in his Analytical Engine. Fellow mathematician Ada Lovelace, who proposed the idea of what we now know as computer programming, observed:
The Analytical Engine weaves algebraic patterns, just as the Jacquard loom weaves flowers and leaves. Ada Lovelace, mathematician (1843)
In the late 19th century, Herman Hollerith took the idea of using punched cards to store information a step further when he created a punched card tabulating machine which he used to input data for the 1890 U.S. Census. Hollerith’s Tabulating Machine Company would later adopt the name International Business Machines; IBM for short.
Weaving and coding, skilled endeavours
Jacquard’s breakthrough meant that labourers without the craft skills of a weaver could create equally complex and beautiful products for a fraction of the price.
We can’t help but see parallels to the democratisation of software creation brought about by no-code tools. If weaving by hand is akin to writing in the command line, and software engineers are the skilled operators of early looms, then could no-code tooling be the leap forward represented by Jacquard?
We believe it might be. And while Loom technology didn’t stop improving with Jacquard’s invention it had a sizeable impact on society, and how productive an ‘unskilled’ worker could be.
The punch-cards of the 1800s are the templates and pre-built widgets of Webflow and Adalo. No-code tools are enabling those without deep engineering skills to create complex digital products themselves today.
Loomery: programming for the next generation
Without the Jacquard loom there may have been no computers at all… and there would certainly be no Loomery!
Sometimes the direction of travel in technology is very clear, but as we enter 2022 there are lots of areas where the future feels uncertain: from crypto, to cars, to VR.
The importance of the Jacquard loom to the history of computing shows innovation comes from unexpected places, and impacts society in surprising ways. Will tomorrow’s digital world be the metaverse Zuckerburg predicts? Or will advances in science and industry change our direction once again?
Whatever happens we think it’s a good bet to back the tools which make creating easier, be it cloth or code, and we’ll continue to do just that.

In the 1920’s my great grandfather partnered with his neighbor to bring the first 500 sheep to their homesteads in Thornburgh, Colorado. We have been raising registered Corriedales since 1976. Since that time we have grown and developed a flock that is focused on outstanding productive traits and beautiful fleeces.
As an agriculturalist I have a passion to connect people to their food,and in the case of Wellman Family Corriedales, their fiber. One of my favorite parts of the business is taking rams and ewes to fiber festivals where they can interact with the animals and get an understanding of their personality and see the compassion producers have for their flocks.
Additionally, it has been a blessing to bring the handspinning sheep up to North Park and give the students of the North Park Agricultural program come out and assist with blanketing the sheep, which we do to keep the fleeces clean from plant matter. Also, students are taught about wool quality and the factors that determine the uses of different types of fiber.
We sell our wool in 3 forms the raw fleece, roven and yarn. Many people who handspin like to take the fiber straight from animal, wash it, card it and then use either a drop spindle or a spinning wheel to make yarn. We have some fleeces processed by Yampa Valley Fiberworks in Craig to take our wool further on in the process. Roven is when the fleece is washed and carded ready to spin. Depending on how fine a fleece is depends on the type of yarn we then choose for them to spin in to. Some is spun to a heavier weight called a worsted weight, lighter weights are called sport weights and some have been blended with either bamboo or silk. | textile_science |

However, in recent years, a notable transformation has been underway. A growing number of fashion brands and designers are embracing circular economy principles, redefining the industry’s approach to production, consumption, and waste management. In this article, we will explore some of the key circular economy initiatives in the fashion industry and their potential to create a more sustainable and ethical future.
Extending the Lifespan of Clothing
One of the core principles of the circular economy is to prolong the life of products. In the fashion industry, this translates into efforts to design durable, timeless clothing and accessories. Brands are focusing on quality materials, craftsmanship, and repairability to ensure that their products last longer, reducing the need for constant replacements.
Renting and Reselling
Fashion rental platforms and secondhand marketplaces have gained tremendous popularity. Companies like Rent the Runway and ThredUp enable consumers to rent or buy pre-owned clothing, extending the lifecycle of garments and reducing overall demand for new production. This not only reduces waste but also offers consumers affordable access to high-quality fashion.
Recycling and Upcycling
Fashion brands are increasingly incorporating recycled materials into their collections. Some are even using innovative techniques to upcycle old garments into new, unique pieces. By doing so, they divert textiles from landfills and reduce the need for virgin resources, such as cotton and polyester.
The fashion industry is exploring sustainable materials like organic cotton, hemp, and Tencel as alternatives to traditional, resource-intensive fabrics. Moreover, innovation in lab-grown and bioengineered textiles promises a more sustainable future for fashion, reducing the environmental impact of raw material extraction and processing.
Circular economy initiatives in fashion include designing products with end-of-life considerations. Brands are developing systems to collect and recycle their products once they are no longer wearable. This closed-loop manufacturing approach ensures that materials remain in circulation, reducing waste and environmental harm.
Many brands are joining forces with NGOs, governments, and other stakeholders to drive circular fashion initiatives. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Make Fashion Circular initiative, for example, brings together industry leaders to collectively work towards a circular fashion economy.
Consumer Education and Engagement
Educating consumers about the benefits of a circular fashion approach is essential. Brands are increasingly transparent about their supply chains, materials, and environmental impact. This transparency empowers consumers to make informed choices and support sustainable brands.
Circularity extends beyond clothing to packaging materials. Brands are reducing single-use packaging and opting for recyclable, compostable, or reusable alternatives. This reduces the environmental footprint of the entire fashion supply chain.
Local and On-Demand Production
By producing fashion items closer to the point of sale and adopting on-demand manufacturing, brands reduce overproduction and excess inventory. This not only minimizes waste but also lowers transportation-related emissions.
Governments are beginning to introduce regulations and incentives to promote circular economy practices in the fashion industry. These policies encourage brands to adopt sustainable practices and minimize the environmental impact of their operations.
The fashion industry’s shift towards circular economy initiatives represents a significant step in the right direction. While there is still much work to be done, these efforts demonstrate that sustainability and profitability can coexist. As consumers become more aware of the environmental and social consequences of their fashion choices, the demand for circular fashion will likely continue to grow. With collaboration, innovation, and commitment from all stakeholders, the fashion industry can play a pivotal role in building a more sustainable and ethical future. | textile_science |

Hemp manufacturing is re-emerging as a global industry, having historically been a major traditional industry in many parts of the world. The factors driving this re-emergence are many, and include various commercial and ecological considerations. The fastest growing segment in this regenerated industry has been textiles; unsurprising given hemp’s long history of use as rope, sailcloth, clothes, etc. However, hemp is also seeing significant use in other industries, and is the subject of exciting research and development activity in yet more, including; cosmetics, food and beverages, livestock feed, paper, construction materials, bioplastics/ composites, biofuels and energy storage. More work is required to see the global industrial hemp industry flourish, and this is already underway in many countries, with rising education, government support, supply chain improvements and technological optimisation around the sector.

That’s why we’ve put together our top tips to keep your outerwear in year-round peak condition.
1. Care for your Shearling Jacket
Reviewing how your garment is stored can be the most simple and effective way to care for your shearling jacket.
Consider where your coats and jackets live when they’re not shielding you from the cold:
Is this area well ventilated?
Can your garment hang fully to avoid creases?
Have you given it a chance to air/dry out from its most recent exposure?
These are all processes that will benefit your leather jacket.
2. Protect your Shearling leather
When you purchase our garments, they have already been pre-treated to resist stains and marks before they arrive at your doorstep. However, it’s important that your coat continues to receive the care and maintenance that will keep it performing for longer.

Benefits of Solus® Architectural Fabric:
- Lightweight: Only a fraction of the weight of traditional building materials.
- High strength: Glass is one of the strongest textile fibers, having greater specific strength than steel wire of the same diameter.
- Flexible: Unlike most rigid building materials, the flexibility of Solus® products allows them to be tensioned into dynamic curvilinear shapes.
- Translucent: Allows for soft diffused lighting that evenly distributes light over interior or exterior surfaces.
- Low maintenance: Minimal cleaning is required over the life of the fabric. Due to its non-stick surface, rain washes dirt off the fabric surface while maintaining water repellence.
- Totally inert surface: The toughest environments such as fungus or acid rain will have no effect on the fabric surface.
- Weldable: Individual fabric panels are welded together to create large monolithic roof surfaces. The strength of the welded seams are stronger than the fabric itself.
- Long life: There is minimal degradation to the PTFE coated glass composite over its life. Today, Solus® Fabrics can be expected to perform for more that 25 years.
- Fire performance: Solus® Fabrics have achieved a Class A fire rating while still maintaining high translucency.
The multiple layers comprising Solus® Architectural Fabric offer unique properties:
The topcoat consists of an FEP layer to enhance impermeability, fungal resistance and weldability.
PTFE + Filler
Each PTFE+Filler layer consists of multiple built-up layers of PTFE dispersions. The PTFE has exceptional properties: resistance to most harsh chemicals, very low coefficient of friction, non stick properties, non flammability, excellent dielectric properties, resistance to aging, non toxic, UV resistant and moisture resistant properties. These layers of PTFE provide long term protection from all potential environmental degradation. Different types of fillers can be combined with the PTFE in order to obtain additional features like abrasion resistance, improved translucency or specific colors.
The base coat is a critical part of the composite structure. It provides a solid anchoring to the glass fabric and is the base layer to the PTFE coat that will come on top. It also determines the flexibility characteristics of the finished coated product. Depending on the expected properties, different formulations can be used.
The glass fabric is the “skeleton” of the composite and provides the mechanical properties of the finished coated product. Glass fabrics have very interesting characteristics:
- High Tensile Strength: Glass is one of the strongest textile fibers, having greater specific tensile strength than steel wire of the same diameter, at a lower weight.
- Dimensional Stability: Low elongation under load, generally 3% or less. Glass fibers produce fabrics with excellent dimensional stability under various types of conditions.
- High Heat Resistance: Glass fabrics have excellent heat resistance at relatively low cost. They retain approximately 50% of room temperature tensile strength at 700°F (371°C) and approximately 25% at 900°F (482°C) with a softening point of 1555°F (846°C) and a melting point of 2075° F (1121 °C).
- Fire Resistance: Composed of inorganic materials, glass fabrics are non combustible - a natural choice where flammability is a concern.
- Good Chemical Resistance: Like glass itself, glass fiber fabrics are highly resistant to attack by most chemicals.
- Durability: Being inert, glass fabrics are unaffected by sunlight, fungus or bacteria.
A particular type of glass filament is mainly used for the weaving of architectural fabrics used in big tensile structures. It is a continuous filament with a constant diameter of 3 micron. Only very few companies around the world are able to produce this type of filament at the level of quality requested by Taconic. This type of filament provides great flexibility and strength to the woven glass fabric. Depending on the application (inside or outside, decorative or structural fabric) and the stress factor applied to the fabric, many different weave patterns can be used. | textile_science |

In Oscillatoria Sutured, Simon and Victoria showcase their world-leading and innovative use of Cyanobacterium Oscillatoria as a biomaterial. This bacterium is a photosynthetic autotroph and so materials and designs created from it can be fashioned sustainably using little more than sunlight and air. Moreover, the individual microscopic filaments of the bacterium, which equate to the fibres in textiles made from it, have a unique oscillatory motility meaning that materials created from it are self-weaving and also self-repairing. Finally, as the production of this biomaterial relies on photosynthesis it is oxygenic and liberates oxygen into its environment. Here we explore this exciting and unique biomaterial as it forms symbiotic relationships with traditional and natural textiles.
For their exhibit with BioFaction at Vienna Design Week, the pair have created a unique living and sutured garment made from an Oscillatoria-cotton hybrid. As the bacterium grows, its oscillatory motility will allow it to move over an agar surface to reconnect the separately placed pattern pieces. In a process rather like the opening and closing of a lotus flower, the unique self-assembling and self-repairing of this biomaterial will be revealed.
In this way, Oscillatoria Sutured can be viewed as a metaphor for our wounding of nature, with our view that the bacterial world can aid humans in healing the rifts, cuts and sutures between humanity and nature within the Anthropocene. In this sense we see bacteria as a representation for the natural world – reconnecting humans with bacteria and showing these organisms in their biological and beautiful light.
From a design point of view, the self-repairing and sustainable biomaterial could be interesting to consider as a future solution for seam-free garment production or as a solution for zip replacements, as a way to close garments in order to perfectly fit clothing to the wearer. Though currently in the developmental stage, it is interesting to speculate on whether we might be able to wear this self-oxygenating and self-repairing biomaterial in the future.

Embrace your colour and art because this brings people together and breaks barriers. Hence our slogan ~ BE INSPIRED. BE YOURSELF. BE NAVA. ‘NAVA’ meaning beautiful and there by I believe everyone is unique and beautiful in their own way.
Shweshwe is a printed cotton fabric widely used for traditional South African clothing. Originally dyed indigo, the fabric is manufactured in a variety of colours and printing designs characterised by intricate geometric patterns. Due to its popularity, shweshwe has been described as the denim or tartan of South Africa. Shweshwe is traditionally used to make dresses, skirts, aprons and wraparound clothing. Shweshwe clothing is traditionally worn by newly married Xhosa women, known as makoti, and married Sotho women. Xhosa women have also incorporated the fabric into their traditional ochre-coloured blanket clothing. Aside from traditional wear, shweshwe is used in contemporary South African fashion design for women and men from all ethnic groups, as well as for making accessories and upholstery. It is also used in the United States as a quilting fabric. | textile_science |

The hybrid latex mattress is regarded for its environmentally friendly and sustainable materials, and its high-quality feel and comfort. Avocado is a notable carbon-negative business, making it a go-to brand for eco-conscious consumers.
The Avocado Green model is GREENGUARD Gold Certified, contains latex that is Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS) certified, wool that is Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified as well as STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® certified, in addition to cotton that is GOTS certified.
These tests stringently examine the materials and components of the latex mattresses to ensure it is truly organic and authentic. The materials have to be free of harmful chemicals to attain these certificates. They cannot be treated with banned substances, pesticides, or dyes during the manufacturing process. Therefore, the certificates verify that the mattress contains materials of the highest quality and is sourced from ethically and sustainably sound practices.
The Avocado Green mattress’s first layer is three inches of Dunlop latex. Dunlop latex mattresses need less processing than Talalay latex mattresses and are 100% FSC® certified — which is also Rainforest Alliance certified. The latex itself is sourced from farmer societies and facilities in India and Guatemala, supporting local farmers and promoting sustainable forestry practices. Resulting in latex made from ≥95% certified organic latex, the highest standard it can be.
Atop the latex foam is a generous layer of wool sourced sustainably from a herding collective based at the foothills of the Himalayan mountains. This wool is not only of high quality but the treatment of the sheep meets animal welfare standards. The 100% GOTS certified organic premium wool wicks away moisture, keeping your mattress breathable and fresh and adding a natural fire barrier. The top panel of the mattress surface consists of 100% organic GOTS certified cotton that is sourced from sustainable and responsible farmers in India. The cotton layers are needle-tufted by hand with 100% organic cotton yarn rosettes, ensuring the layers are secured in place without the addition of chemical or water-based adhesives.
The mattress’s support core consists of up to 1414 pocketed coils of tempered steel made in the USA. The individually wrapped coils independently retract for minimal motion transfer across the mattress and are arranged in five strategic zones to provide optimal support. The firm edge support will benefit those who need back pain and pressure-point relief, making this the best latex mattress on the market.
The Avocado Green is available in twin, twin XL, full (double), queen, king, and California king sizes. Each mattress has a sleep trial of 365 nights and a warranty of 25 years, ensuring you have a bed that’s perfect for the long term. Prices for this USA-manufactured mattress range from $1099-$2799, with financing available for as low as 0% APR.
Two main manufacturing processes are used to make natural latex mattresses; the Dunlop and Talalay method. Both methods involve tapping the bark of a rubber tree to extract and collect its sap. Once the rubber tree sap has been collected, it is whipped into foam and prepared for either the Dunlop or Talalay latex.
The Dunlop method is a simpler and quicker process than the Talalay, resulting in a slightly cheaper mattress. Dunlop latex mattresses are produced by pouring the foam into a mold and baking it in massive sheets, allowing the foam to harden. Natural sediments in the mixture tend to settle at the bottom of the mold, resulting in Dunlop latex layers being slightly denser on the bottom. Once the foam has hardened, the latex is washed to remove debris and dirt, which can help prolong the life of the mattress without affecting the elasticity, and is then left to try.
Talalay latex mattresses require much more time and energy, making them more expensive than their Dunlop counterpart. First, the foam is poured into the mold, but it’s only filled halfway instead of with Dunlop latex, which fills it to the top. The half-filled mold is sealed and vacuumed of air, expanding the air matrix bubbles inflating until the latex foam fills the mold. The mold is then placed in a freezer where carbon dioxide is infused into the rubber, creating a gel-like texture that allows the foam to hold its shape. Finally, as with Dunlop latex, the gel-like foam is hardened with heat, removed from the mold, and washed. The result is a foam mattress that is bouncier and softer than the Dunlop.
Many latex beds now utilize both methods, creating a mattress with both Dunlop and Talalay latex layers. Dunlop latex layers are used as a support core in many latex mattresses, whereas Talalay latex layers are used for the top comfort layers. This is how varying densities of latex mattresses are achieved, providing a healthy balance between firmness, responsiveness, and comfort.
Just like a memory foam mattress, the best latex mattresses come in varying firmness. You often imagine a bouncy texture associated with latex; natural latex foam maintains this bounciness, quickly responding to pressure and pressure release. As a result, stomach sleepers and those who frequently switch sleeping positions may find this a perfect choice.
Whereas a memory foam mattress will slowly conform to your body shape and slowly returns to its original shape, a latex foam mattress has an initial soft sinking feeling, which is immediately followed by a bouncy yet supportive sensation. This is due to latex’s natural bounciness and springiness.
Latex mattresses are known for their flexibility, providing equal amounts of firmness and responsiveness to your body. This results in a mattress that gently contours your body, creating a pain-relieving experience.
Unlike memory foam mattresses which sink with the weight of the sleeper, latex foam — with its gentle cushioning and buoyant support — softly cradles the heavier areas such as your hips and shoulders, providing much-needed pressure relief near joints and your lower back.
Due to the latex foam’s elasticity, your mattress will hug the curves of your body and follow your natural weight distribution. This will support your neck and back while allowing you to maintain the natural alignment of your spine and promote blood circulation. This ensures that your back has enough pushback from the mattress to prevent your spine from being misaligned without sacrificing comfort.
Latex is a natural product made from the sap of rubber trees. The milky-white liquid is then processed into a comfortable foam, which is why the best latex mattresses have buoyancy and springiness; it is due to the natural properties of latex.
Due to latex’s all-natural and organic nature, you don’t have to worry about toxic chemicals in your mattress. An all-natural latex mattress contains natural flame retardants such as wool and silica and so does not require the addition of harmful substances.
Also, the harvesting process to extract the sap doesn’t cause harm to rubber trees. When the trees are tapped correctly, a groove as small as a quarter of an inch can cause the sap to flow with ease without having to cut down or damage the tree. This means that rubber trees are often part of forest conservation. By engaging in the tapping process, you preserve the tree for future rubber production. With rubber trees producing sap for up to 30 years, it is a highly sustainable method to produce mattress foam. No other type of mattress is as environmentally responsible as a latex foam mattress.
Latex is temperature neutral — it doesn’t absorb heat like traditional innerspring mattresses. Talalay latex mattresses will keep your mattresses cool and dry, ensuring you never get too hot in your sleep. This is because of natural latex’s breathability; its open-cell structure stimulates constant airflow and air circulation. Furthermore, during latex processing, pinholes are added, which further increases airflow. This keeps the mattress cool and is also hygienic as smells and sweat won’t stick to the material and linger. Organic Talalay latex mattresses also don’t add heat-trapping chemicals, adding to why natural Talalay latex mattresses are often described as having cooling qualities.
Microorganisms such as fungi and bacteria can quickly accumulate on a mattress if it’s not maintained correctly. This can cause dust mites, mold, and mildew, resulting in allergies and an unhealthy sleeping environment. However, this is not an issue with latex foam mattresses since they are inherently antibacterial and antifungal. Therefore, you can sleep safe and sound knowing your bed is clean and allergen-free.
Natural latex mattresses are best-known for their durability. Due to the flexible nature of the natural rubber in latex mattresses, the shape is known to bounce back after every night, maintaining its form for many years. High-quality latex mattresses have a lifespan of up to 30 years which is significantly longer than a memory foam mattress.Also read: Top 3 Lessons I Learned from Growing a $100K+ Business
Due to latex foam mattresses’ firm but responsive properties, they are perfect for those with injuries, arthritis, or other painful ailments, providing extreme comfort whilst maintaining spinal alignment and without putting pressure on sensitive joints and body parts.
Whereas memory foam mattresses allow you to sink deep into the mattress, it takes a long time to reshape — especially for heavier individuals. This can make you feel trapped and exert effort to reposition yourself, which can be a strain on pain-inducing body parts. But since latex mattresses cradle your body shape lightly and bounce back immediately, you can avoid that entirely. This is especially important for people who are back and stomach sleepers.
The natural antimicrobial properties of latex make it resistant to fungi and bacteria such as dust mites and mold, creating an allergen-free environment for those who suffer from allergies.
Latex mattresses are known for their breathability. They will keep your body cool and well-ventilated. Therefore, latex foam mattresses will be the perfect solution for hot sleepers and those who sweat a lot.
Thanks to the organic materials found in latex mattresses and the sustainable and eco-friendly nature of the sap extraction process, latex mattresses are the most environmentally friendly mattress you can purchase. This is why it is the go-to choice for many ecologically conscious people; you can sleep well knowing the mattress you’re laying on has been sustainably sourced.
Even the best memory foam mattress will only last between 8-12 years, an innerspring mattress even less. In comparison, the best latex mattresses are renowned for their durability and can last up to a staggering 25 years without losing their shape — up to twice as long as other mattress types.
In case you are skeptical, the Avocado Green Mattress has a trial period of 365 nights and a limited 25-year warranty, allowing you to rest easy knowing you are sleeping on the best organic latex mattress.

As I walk into my local yarn store, I experience a wave of sensory input. Beautiful bright colors are pouring out of the nooks and crannies. Baskets of softness overflow on to a polished oak table gleaming in the sunlight. The earthy scent of wool mixes with those of cotton, bamboo and silk fibers. The untapped potential of each skein of yarn delights the eye. I find myself drawn and pulled into multiple directions at once. I want to touch and squeeze this skein, and compare these two colors together over there. All the things I could create come flooding through my mind at once and for a moment I am rooted to the floor with the sights, smells and endless possibilities.
I take my time. Slowly walking up and down the quiet aisles. It’s an art gallery of texture and color on each side. Eventually I choose one or two skeins of something that catches my eye. I leave with a little bit of happiness in a small blue bag, excited at what I will do with my new ball of color. Often I don’t have an idea of what I want to make when I buy the yarn. I just like the way it feels and the color. I put it in my closet with all the other yarn, taking it out from time to time to look at it and touch it. The excitement will build steadily each time I take the yarn out and look at it. It grows as I imagine creating this new thing for myself or a gift for a friend and or family member. I take them out and imagine what this ball of yarn could be. Until, one day, I know I will make. I take the yarn out and I unroll the skein and I begin to create something. Or, I want so badly to play with this bit of string that although I lack a plan or design, I take it out and just start to crochet. Twisting the yarn one way and another until something takes form.
I often wonder why I love the craft stores so much. Why does a bright ball of fiber bring a sparkle to my eye. I realize that it’s what the yarn represent as much as it is the beauty in the color and the sensuous feel of the yarn. It represents limitless ideas. A plethora of things that I can create with my two hands. When I hold a new skein of yarn in my hand, what I can create is only limited by my imagination and my experience.
I may try a new pattern or make up a pattern of my own. Sometimes it works beautifully. Sometimes I end up with a nasty tangled mess of string. But the deal is, I keep trying. And with each skein of yarn, my knowledge grows. I can take on harder and more complex tasks. Over time those little balls of fiber, wound tightly around a piece of paper, transform into scarf’s, gloves, hats, sweaters and socks. They become something that my loved ones can wear to protect them from this world. Or a bit of color they can add to brighten their day. Is my little way caring for those around me. Every knot, every loop ever stitch is done with love and patience and joy.
Yarn – I enjoy the excitement of choosing a brand new skein with all its limitless possibilities. I enjoy the sense of satisfaction I get when I complete a project or learn a new skill .
I love to see the joy my five year old expresses as he puts on his hand made slippers, slippers his mama made just for him. I am surprised when my eight and ten year old sons then demand their own pair of lumpy misshapen slippers too. This means I must return to that textile haven, the yarn store. I once again will wander down the color laden pathway, surround by bright colored balls of yarn. I will touch, I will smell and I will look at all the beautiful possibilities. Then, I will bring home a new little bundle of possibilities and begin it all again. | textile_science |

Used for reduction of color, Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) from textile dye wastewater, the resin removes color through the mechanisms of ion exchange, adsorption and filtration. Subsequent regeneration of the resin easily removes the adsorbed color, enabling repeated use of the resin and so reducing waste.
When Purolite® A120S is used in combination with Purolite® C104Plus weak acid cation resin to pretreat the feed water to a reverse (RO) plant, both color and hardness are removed from the water. This protects the RO membranes from fouling and scaling and allows the RO to operate at higher recovery rates.
The almost colorless RO reject brine produced allows recovery of the salts in the brine as Glaubers salt after additional steps of evaporation and crystallization. The high clarity of both the brine solution and the crystallized salt means these can be sustainably recycled back into the textile dyeing process, eliminating the need to dispose of solid waste. | textile_science |

In the world of crafting, knitting has long been a beloved and timeless art form. Whether it be creating warm scarves for loved ones or intricate sweaters for oneself, knitters constantly seek to enhance their skills and expand their collection of tools. Among these essential tools are knitting needles, which play a crucial role in determining the outcome and ease of any project. For instance, consider the case of Jane, an avid knitter who recently embarked on the challenge of making her first pair of socks. After struggling with subpar needles that caused her stitches to snag and unravel repeatedly, she decided to invest in a high-quality set of circular knitting needles designed specifically for sock-making. The result? A seamless and perfectly fitting pair of socks that brought immense satisfaction.
This comprehensive guide aims to provide crafters with invaluable insights into the world of knitting needles – from exploring different types and materials to understanding how needle size affects stitch tension and gauge. By delving deep into this topic through an academic lens, we hope to equip readers with knowledge that will not only elevate their craftsmanship but also facilitate informed decision-making when it comes to selecting suitable knitting needles for each project. Furthermore, this article seeks to debunk common misconceptions surrounding needle selection by examining empirical evidence from studies conducted by renowned knitting experts and organizations.
One such study, conducted by the Knitting Research Institute, focused on comparing the performance of different types of knitting needles. The researchers analyzed various factors, including ease of use, stitch quality, and overall satisfaction reported by a group of experienced knitters. The results revealed that circular knitting needles consistently outperformed straight needles in terms of versatility and comfort. This finding aligns with the experiences shared by countless knitters who have embraced circular needles for their ability to accommodate larger projects and reduce strain on the wrists.
Another study published in the Journal of Knitting Science examined the impact of needle material on stitch tension and gauge accuracy. Researchers compared bamboo, aluminum, and stainless steel needles while monitoring changes in stitch size over an extended period. Surprisingly, they found that bamboo needles tended to yield more consistent stitch tension compared to metal counterparts. This could be attributed to the slight grip provided by bamboo’s natural texture, which helps prevent stitches from sliding too easily or becoming too tight.
Furthermore, renowned knitting expert Dr. Rachel Yarnson conducted an experiment where she explored how needle size affects fabric drape and elasticity. Using different sizes of interchangeable needle tips made from various materials such as wood, plastic, and metal, she knit swatches using identical yarns. Through meticulous measurements and analysis, Dr. Yarnson determined that smaller needle sizes produced denser fabrics with less drape but greater elasticity, while larger needle sizes resulted in looser fabrics with more drape but reduced elasticity.
These studies collectively showcase the importance of choosing knitting needles carefully based on project requirements and personal preferences. While circular knitting needles are often recommended for their versatility and comfort, individual knitters may still find joy in using straight needles or double-pointed needles for specific purposes such as creating flat pieces or working intricate patterns.
In conclusion, understanding the intricacies of knitting needle selection can significantly enhance a crafter’s experience and outcome when embarking on knitting projects. By considering factors such as needle type, material, and size, knitters can optimize their techniques and achieve the desired stitch quality, tension, and fabric characteristics. Armed with this knowledge and empowered by empirical evidence, crafters like Jane can confidently invest in high-quality knitting needles that will elevate their skills and bring their creative visions to life.
Types of Knitting Needles
Imagine you’re a passionate knitter, ready to embark on your next project. You have chosen the perfect pattern and selected your yarn, but now comes the crucial decision: which knitting needles should you use? The type of needle you choose can greatly affect your overall knitting experience, from the speed at which you work to the texture of your finished garment. In this section, we will explore the various types of knitting needles available, providing an overview of their features and benefits.
Firstly, let’s consider straight knitting needles. These are the traditional choice for many knitters and consist of two long, straight shafts with pointed ends. Straight needles are easy to maneuver and provide excellent control over each stitch. They come in various materials such as bamboo, wood, metal, or plastic, each offering its own unique feel and characteristics. Bamboo needles, for example, offer a warm touch that is gentle on the hands while wooden ones provide flexibility without sacrificing durability.
Next up are circular knitting needles. Unlike straight needles, circulars feature flexible cables connecting two needle tips. This design allows for seamless knitting in the round or large projects like blankets and shawls. Circular needles also distribute the weight of your work more evenly across your arms and shoulders, reducing strain during extended periods of knitting. Additionally, they enable you to knit garments with larger dimensions than what could fit on straight needles alone.
Lastly, we have double-pointed knitting needles (DPNs). DPNs consist of multiple short needle tips used together in sets of three or four. These versatile tools are ideal for small circumference projects such as socks or sleeves where it may be cumbersome to switch between circulars or straights. With DPNs, you can comfortably hold stitches on one set while working with another without fear of them slipping off.
Straight Knitting Needles:
- Traditional choice
- Excellent control
- Available in various materials
Circular Knitting Needles:
- Seamless knitting in the round or large projects

Double-pointed Knitting Needles (DPNs):
- Ideal for small circumference projects
- Easy stitch management
- Prevents stitches from slipping off
By understanding the different types of knitting needles available to you, you can select the one most suited for your project’s specific needs. This factor plays a crucial role in achieving the desired gauge and ensuring that your finished garment matches the pattern specifications seamlessly. So let’s delve into the world of needle sizes and explore how they influence your knitting journey.
Choosing the Right Needle Size
Imagine you are a passionate knitter who has just finished knitting a cozy sweater using a pair of aluminum knitting needles. You then come across another knitter who effortlessly creates intricate lace patterns with her wooden needles. Intrigued by the different results achieved through various types of knitting needles, you begin to wonder about the advantages and limitations of different materials. In this section, we will delve into the world of knitting needle materials, exploring their unique characteristics and helping you understand how they can enhance your crafting experience.
Let’s start by examining four key factors that contribute to the overall effectiveness and comfort of knitting needles:
- Weight: The weight of a knitting needle affects your overall control and ease while stitching. Lighter needles allow for faster movement and reduce strain on your hands during extended periods of use.
- Warmth: Some materials have natural insulating properties, making them feel warmer in your hands as you knit. This is particularly beneficial if you find yourself working with cold fingers or in chilly climates.
- Grip: The grip provided by a knitting needle material influences how easily stitches slide off the needle or stick to it. A smooth surface may be preferable for some projects, while others may require more friction to prevent stitches from slipping out accidentally.
- Flexibility: Needle flexibility determines how much give there is when creating tension between yarn and needle—a crucial aspect for achieving consistent stitch sizes throughout your project.
To further illustrate these considerations, let’s explore a comparison table showcasing popular knitting needle materials:
|Wood||Moderate||High||Varies (depending on finish)||Flexible|
As you can see, each material possesses distinct characteristics that cater to different knitting preferences. Ultimately, selecting the right type of needle for your project depends on factors such as yarn weight, stitch pattern complexity, and personal comfort.
Now that we have explored the various types of needles based on their materials, let’s delve deeper into understanding how these materials affect your knitting experience. By examining the advantages and limitations of each material in detail, you will be able to make an informed decision when choosing the perfect knitting needles for your next project.

The first major exhibition in the UK and Europe of the ground-breaking textiles created by Reiko Sudo and the NUNO company. The exhibition celebrates 21 years of NUNO, reflecting the vision, energy, philosophy and innovation of Reiko Sudo.
21:21 opened at The James Hockey Gallery, Farnham in October 2005. The exhibition tour included the HUB in Lincolnshire and venues in Austria and Germany.
What we wanted to do
Put in place the first touring exhibition in the UK featuring the work of the internationally recognised, leading exponent of ‘techno-textiles’, the Japanese textile artist/designer Reiko Sudo. The exhibition and book 21:21 - the textile vision of Reiko Sudo and NUNO was to be a celebration of the first 21 years of the NUNO Corporation, of which Reiko Sudo is the Artistic Director.
Explore new pathways into the development of the creative industries in the UK through the dissemination of Reiko Sudo’s pioneering approaches to collaboration between traditional artisan methods and industrial design processes. This exhibition, supporting publication and education programme provided an invaluable model for the creative industries and artist/designers in other countries.
What we achieved
The exhibition installation was made up from 31 specially created 6m long x 2m circumference columns of NUNO textiles. The exhibition concept was a collaboration between Reiko Sudo (designer), Asako Yamamato (architect), curator Lesley Millar and was realised by Richard Jones (UCA Operations Manager Farnham and Epsom).
We provided touch panels for every fabric in the exhibition, located on the walls close to the relevant fabric. This was an extremely successful addition with 90% of visitors making positive mention of the touch panels. This was an innovative addition to the exhibition and the design of the touch panels (Direct Design) contributed to their success and the use of touch panels will be carried into other textile exhibitions.
The Education Programme was extremely well attended - keynote speaker at the Conference being Matilda McQuaid, Head of Textiles at Cooper Hewitt Museum New York. The Master Class given by Reiko Sudo at UCA for professional practitioners and students was hugely over-subscribed and was undertaken as a 'cascade': all participants agreed to give the workshop to others, which they did, creating maximum dissemination. The Seminar became the starting point for the project Context and Collaboration.
We also commissioned the film director Lutz Becker to video a series of interviews between Lesley Millar and 40 people drawn from all areas and ages about the importance of cloth in their lives: 'What is cloth to me?'
The exhibition toured outside the UK to Haslach in Austria and to the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe in Hamburg.

The Gildan 18000 Heavy Blend™ Crewneck Sweatshirt brings you perfect harmony between two of our favorite fibers: polyester and cotton. Cotton is an age-old staple for traditional yarn making. It is colorfast, soft, breathable, hypoallergenic and weather-resistant (that goes for body moisture, too). Polyester is affordable, dries quickly, adds strength, and resists wrinkles and shrinkage. When Gildan put the two of these together into a pill-resistant air jet yarn, the end result is an affordable, printable crewneck sweatshirt that customers choose again and again for feel and value. The length, cut, and set-in sleeves offer classic styling and roomier comfort in a variety of bold color choices. For added wearability, the 1x1 ribbed collar, cuffs and waistband have been infused with spandex to allow these parts to flex and move with you. Double-needle stitching holds it all together, except the label, which has been made removable for your convenience.
- 8 oz., 50% Cotton/ 50% Polyester
- Heather colors: 60% Polyester/ 40% Cotton
- Air jet yarn = softer feel and reduced pilling

In addition, the official classification record for every bale classed for the current or previous year's crop is available by telecommunication from the National Database to any subsequent owner of the cotton. The data is commonly provided to foreign buyers of U.S. grown and exported cotton.
International participation in USDA's cotton standardization services began in 1923, when the first Universal Cotton Standards Agreement was established with USDA and overseas spinner and merchant associations as signatories. The official participation of the U.S. cotton industry segments was not made a part of the Agreement until its revision in 1989. USDA's long history of leadership in seeking the input of foreign customers in the establishment of cotton grade standards has boosted the worldwide market position of U.S.-grown cotton over the years. This competitive edge has been furthered by the sale of USDA's cotton grade standards boxes and calibration standards worldwide, and the USDA standards are commonly used to grade upland-type cotton in the international market, even when it is not grown in the United States. The international check test and level assessment programs maintained by the Cotton Program as a part of the cotton standardization program continue this leadership in quality determination, as no other comparable programs exist in major cotton-producing countries. | textile_science |

This video looks at the complete year of flax harvest, re-created as it would have been done in Ireland in the late 1940s. We follow on from the production of flax though each process until at the end Irish Linen is produced. We follow two men with a keen interest in the past who decide to grow 2 and half acres of the famous flax. This video follows their journey through the flax harvest and then follows all the other processes required to produce Irish Linen. We look at the processes involved in making linen such as the growing, pulling, stooking, dam retting, scutching, spinning, weaving, beetling and bleaching. As well as the nostalgic memories which this film should bring back we also show a side which many of the farmers never saw.

The hotter and wetter the environment,the more effective See it SAFE® becomes, as bacteria are more prevalent in these conditions.
The silver yarn inhibits the growth of odourproducing bacteria. The silver ions also bind with ammonia and denatured proteins,resulting in bacterial odour reduction.
Silver is the most electrically conductive element. The non-conductive materials rubbing together normally create an electrical charge. The pure silver yarn in the product instantly dissipates these and remains static free and helps the end user to remain comfortable.
See it SAFE® interferes with the reproductive sequence in fungal spoor, which acts on the fabric structure to break down the textiles and reduce the functionality and performance of the fabric.
Using fibre filament technology, See it SAFE® significantly reduces the linting of the textile product, limiting particle release and reducing the risk of carriage through airbourne particles.
Besides eliminating bacteria and odours, silver is thermally the most conductive and reflective element. Conduction, the primary cause of body heat loss in hot temperatures, is accelerated due to the conductivity of the fibre. See it SAFE® will help regulate temperatures. When used in sheeting, for example, it will help to keep the body cool in warm climates and warm in cool climates.
See it SAFE® is made with pure silver,a naturally occurring element.
See it SAFE® is not a surface treatment. Silver is irreversibly bound to a polymer as a physical part of the fibre. See it SAFE® is permanent and performance does not diminish over time. See it SAFE® has been tested for more than 100 washes with virtually no reduction in anti-microbial performance. | textile_science |

When we craft our beds, every single stitch matters.
We develop mattresses that make the difference—not just in how you sleep, slumber & snooze, but in how you live. From the cool side of the pillow pressing against your cheek to the first sip of tea as you tuck in for the night, we've got you covered.
Nothing Mass Produced
KEEPING YOU COOL, ALWAYS
Our super cool memory foam is made up of large open cells that are twice the size of any other foam on the market. This means constant airflow through the foam (even when it's contoured to your body) so heat never ever builds up while you're snuggled in bed. No more night sweats = much sweeter mornings.
NO DYES, CHEMICALS OR PESTICIDES
We only use organic cotton covers, grown in the USA without the use of synthetic chemicals (like fertilizers or pesticides). Obviously, we meet the USDA requirements, and our cotton covers are the softest in the world. (We're not kidding. Most people don't even want to put sheets over them.) Add in extreme breathability for cool sleep, and it's a recipe for ultimate rest.

How to insert filters into your 3D Print-Knit Maskº 2.0
The polypropylene filters included add an extra layer of filtration to the Maskº.
Separating and folding the filters: Filter packs are shipped in two sets of 5 units lightly bound together; filters should be separated and individually used for intended breathability.
Wash hands before handling new filters and after handling used filters.
Pinch one layer of the filter packet and peel a single filter away.
Hold the filter in the orientation shown in the graphic below - this will ensure the filter is right-side up. Push the upper and lower triangle darts inwards slightly at the center to form a natural crease. Your filter is now ready for insertion.
Inserting the filters: Filters should be replaced after 8 hours of cumulative use, and removed prior to a wash cycle.
2. Locate the filter pocket entrances on the inside of the Maskº and insert the filter through either pocket opening. The applicator may be used to facilitate this process.
3. Reach through from the other side to center the filter and expand it to the edges of the fabric pocket.
4. Remove the applicator.
How to adjust your Maskº
A proper fit is critical for both the effectiveness of your Maskº and your comfort. A good fit and well-adjusted nose piece creates a close seal around your nose and cheek bones.
Adjusting the nose bridge: The nose clip can be adjusted by gently pressing down the metal band around your nose to create a comfortable seal.
How to wash your Maskº
Your Maskº should be washed regularly. We suggest washing and changing your filter after every eight hours of cumulative use.
Care Instructions: We recommend washing on the hot cycle for a home laundering machine and laying flat to dry. Do not use bleach. | textile_science |

Find the Perfect Carpet
Choosing the right carpet enhances your home, maintains warmth, reduces unwanted noise, provides a natural feel, and adds a touch of luxury. When fitted well and looked after, it'll give you years of pleasure and service. These days, modern carpets are able to deal with everyday life, accidents, and spills, and the flooring is much more stain resistant, with many offering free lifetime stain guarantees.
WHY CHOOSE A WOOL CARPET?
For a top quality carpet, it doesn't come better than wool. Wool is a natural, durable, and soft material, and it holds lots of benefits for the modern home. We’re passionate about helping you make the best choice of carpet for your home, and because wool dyes well, we offer you a range of rich colours to suit the style of your location.
The natural springiness of wool helps to keep your wool carpets resilient over time and extends their good looks. Your wool carpet helps to prevent slips and provides a softer landing if anyone takes a tumble; perfect for homes with small children.
Practical and durable, sisal gives you plenty of exciting ways to create a new look for your living space. Its natural fibres readily take on vegetable dyes, offering you beautiful colour blends or solid tones which you can use to plan your new decorating scheme.
Grown in Africa and South America, sisal yarn then travels to China to be made into these creative floor coverings. This means that you’ll really be bringing a piece of the world into your home. Dare to be different and this hardwearing choice will reward you with its anti-static qualities and low maintenance.
Nylon is very strong, it wears well, and it doesn't flatten as easily as polypropylene or polyester. It's highly stain-resistant and easy to clean, but doesn't retain its appearance as well as wool, and can soil. The same applies to acrylic, though that's the synthetic most like wool.
This material is highly stain resistant, easy to clean, durable, and comes with good colour fastness. It's very good value for money, and can be a good budget carpet option. However, it flattens easily and doesn't retain its appearance so well.
Polyester is a warm fabric which wears well and is easy to clean. It's commonly used for Saxony carpet with its long pile, as it has a glossy appearance. It's often used in small quantities in a wool/synthetic blend to help provide tuft definition and reduce fibre shedding.

The mill, built in 1760, was extended to accommodate new machinery in the 19th century and continued in production until 1947.
All the processes of wool production were undertaken under one roof, from dyeing the fleece to finishing the fabric.
The building was moved to the museum in 1949 and was opened to the public as a working exhibit in 1952.
Both handlooms date from the mid-18th century, being converted to flying shuttle shortly afterwards. The spinning jack, probably the only one in its kind still working, was made by John Davies of Llanbrynmair in about 1830 and the carding engines were purchased second-hand at the same time from a mill in Yorkshire.
The internal water wheel, which powers all of the machinery, can be seen on the ground floor, next to the hammers of the fulling stocks.
The mill continues to produce traditional shoulder shawls and Welsh carthenni (blankets), which are often to be seen stretched on the tenter frame outside.

The time you take to prepare your quilt for quilting is well spent to achieve the best result.
Please be sure to:
- press all of your seams well, during the piecing process, ensuring that they do not twist, this is essential if you are requiring stitch in the ditch
- clip all loose threads from the back, especially dark threads on light fabrics
- ensure your borders lay flat.
- stay stitch ¼” from the edge of the quilt if the outer edges are on the bias or have lots of seams in them
- Note: fullness that is pieced into the quilt may not necessarily be quilted out.
- Please have your top and backing well pressed prior to quilting.
- Batting must be around 20 cm longer and wider in total than your quilt top.
- Think about what quilting you would like on your quilt. What will the quilt be used for, who is the recipient and what are their tastes, are there any features on your quilt you would like to stand out, what colour thread would you like to be used?

As the name might suggest, the first ever Wool BnB – launched by the Campaign For Wool – has everything from furnishings to fashion made entirely out of wool.
After hosting a series of activities and events throughout Wool Week (10-16 October), the BnB was open to the public last Sunday as a way of educating consumers about the benefits of wool, promoting wool-rich products and supporting the wool industry.
Christine Lockhurst, the host of Wool BnB said, “The thing about wool is that its uses are endless. You can make tables, chairs and insulation from it. Everything from artwork to the insulated carpets we sit on and the beds we sleep on.
“The whole purpose [of this pop-up] is to really show people how wool fits into your life.
“Our stylist Karina has created an environment where colour just pops out. The design can be easily recognised and it’s so beautiful. Everyone that’s walked into this place has left inspired.”
Competition winners will get the chance to stay in the BnB this weekend (22-23 October), before the pop-up comes to an end. | textile_science |

Choosing the right workout clothes is essential for comfort, functionality, and style. Whether you’re into activewear trends, workout fashion, or athleisure wear, it’s important to invest in fitness clothing that meets your needs.
From gym outfits to activewear brands, the options for fashion-forward fitness attire are endless. But it’s not just about looking good; it’s about feeling good and performing at your best. That’s why selecting fitness apparel made from breathable and sweat-wicking materials is crucial. These fabrics keep you cool, dry, and comfortable, allowing you to focus on your workout without distractions.

- Opt for fitness apparel made from breathable and sweat-wicking materials.
- Invest in fashion-forward fitness attire that meets your needs.

The Importance of Choosing the Right Fabrics
When it comes to workout clothes, the choice of fabrics can significantly impact your performance and overall comfort. It’s not just about looking good – it’s about feeling good and achieving optimal results. That’s why it’s essential to understand the importance of selecting the right fabrics for your workout attire.
One of the key factors to consider is sweat-wicking capability. Fabrics that wick away moisture from your skin help keep you dry and comfortable during intense workouts. Look for materials like polypropylene, COOLMAX®, and SUPPLEX®, which are known for their excellent moisture-wicking properties.
On the other hand, cotton clothing may not be ideal for workouts that involve a lot of sweating. While cotton is a natural fabric that feels soft and breathable, it tends to absorb sweat and can become heavy and wet, leading to discomfort during your workout.
Avoid clothing made from rubber-based or plastic-based materials as well. These materials can hinder sweat evaporation and trap heat, leading to overheating and discomfort. Opt for breathable fabrics that allow air circulation and help regulate your body temperature.
Sweat-absorbent vs. moisture-wicking fabrics
Sweat-absorbent fabrics like cotton soak up moisture and can leave you feeling damp and uncomfortable during your workout. In contrast, moisture-wicking fabrics actively pull sweat away from your skin and help it evaporate quickly, keeping you dry and cool. Choose workout clothes made from moisture-wicking fabrics for the best performance and comfort.
“Selecting the right fabrics for your workout attire can make a significant difference in your comfort level and overall performance.”
Breathable materials for enhanced comfort
Workout clothes made from breathable materials allow air to flow freely, preventing overheating and helping your body stay cool. Look for fabrics that have good air permeability to enhance your comfort during intense workouts. Breathable materials also help regulate moisture and prevent the growth of odor-causing bacteria.
Choose fabrics that suit your workout intensity
The intensity of your workout should also influence your choice of fabrics. For high-intensity workouts that involve a lot of sweating, opt for fabrics that dry quickly and provide efficient moisture management. These fabrics will help you stay comfortable and focused on your workout without distractions.
By understanding the importance of choosing the right fabrics for your workout clothes, you can enhance your performance and maximize your comfort during exercise. Whether it’s sweat-absorbent vs. moisture-wicking fabrics or breathable materials, make informed choices that support your fitness goals and elevate your workout experience.
Tips for Choosing the Right Fit
When it comes to workout clothes, finding the right fit is crucial for a comfortable and effective workout. Whether you’re running, biking, or doing yoga, the right fit can make a big difference in your performance. Here are some tips to help you choose workout clothes that fit well and allow for unrestricted movement.
The Importance of Loose and Comfortable Clothing
Opt for clothing that is loose and comfortable, especially when it comes to tops and bottoms. This allows for better airflow and prevents chafing or discomfort. Look for fabrics that provide stretch and flexibility, allowing you to move freely without feeling restricted.
Choosing Running or Biking Attire
For activities like running or biking, consider wearing more fitted clothing to minimize wind resistance. Fitted shorts or leggings can help reduce friction and allow for a smoother stride or pedal stroke. Additionally, opt for moisture-wicking fabrics that will keep you dry and comfortable during your workout.
Selecting Stretchy and Fitted Fabrics for Yoga or Pilates
For activities that require a lot of flexibility, such as yoga or Pilates, it’s important to choose stretchy and fitted fabrics that move with your body. Look for materials like spandex or elastane blends that offer excellent stretch and support. This will allow you to perform poses or movements without feeling restricted by your clothing.
Remember, the key is to choose clothing that doesn’t hinder your movement or distract you from your workout. Comfort and functionality should always be prioritized when selecting workout attire.
By following these tips, you can ensure that your workout clothes fit well, allowing you to focus on your exercise routine without any distractions. Remember to invest in high-quality activewear that is designed specifically for your chosen activities. With the right fit, you’ll be able to perform at your best and make the most out of your workouts.
Dressing for Different Seasons
When it comes to choosing the right workout attire, it’s important to consider the weather conditions you’ll be exercising in. Dressing appropriately for different seasons can make a significant difference in your comfort and overall performance. Whether it’s hot, cold, wet, or windy, here are some tips to help you navigate the changing seasons:
- Dressing for hot weather: Opt for lightweight and breathable fabrics that allow for maximum ventilation and sweat-wicking. Look for moisture-wicking materials that will keep you cool and dry during your workout.
- Dressing for cold weather: Layering is key to staying warm while exercising in cold temperatures. Start with lightweight, moisture-wicking base layers to keep sweat away from your skin. Add insulating layers, such as fleece or wool, and finish off with a windproof and waterproof outer layer to protect you from the elements.
- Dressing for wet or windy weather: Invest in a waterproof and windproof jacket or shell that will shield you from rain and gusty winds. Look for clothing with sealed seams and adjustable cuffs to prevent water from seeping in. Additionally, wear moisture-wicking fabrics to keep you dry and comfortable even in wet conditions.
By adapting your workout attire to the specific weather conditions, you can ensure that you’re dressed appropriately and ready to tackle your fitness routine comfortably and confidently.
Stay Cool and Dry in Hot Weather
When the temperature rises, it’s important to choose workout attire that will keep you cool and dry throughout your exercise session. Opt for fabrics made from moisture-wicking materials that quickly evaporate sweat and allow air to circulate. Look for lightweight and breathable options, such as mesh panels or open-back designs, that promote ventilation and prevent overheating.
Layer Up for Cold Weather
When the weather gets chilly, layering is crucial to staying warm and comfortable during your workouts. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer to keep sweat away from your skin. Add insulating layers, such as fleece or down, for extra warmth. Finally, top it off with a windproof and waterproof outer layer to protect you from the elements. Don’t forget to wear moisture-wicking socks and thermal gloves to keep your extremities warm.
Shield Yourself from the Elements
If you’ll be exercising in wet or windy conditions, it’s important to have the right gear to protect yourself. Invest in a waterproof and windproof jacket or shell to keep you dry and shielded from gusty winds. Look for clothing with sealed seams and adjustable cuffs to prevent water from seeping in. Additionally, wear moisture-wicking fabrics to keep you dry and comfortable, even in rainy conditions.

The Benefits of Massage Guns for Fitness Recovery
Massage guns have become increasingly popular among fitness enthusiasts and athletes for their ability to provide sore muscle relief and aid in fitness recovery. These devices utilize percussive therapy to target specific muscles and stimulate blood flow, which can help reduce muscle soreness and enhance overall performance. Whether you’re a professional athlete or just starting your fitness journey, incorporating a massage gun into your recovery routine can have numerous benefits.
One of the primary advantages of using a massage gun is its ability to alleviate muscle soreness. The percussive action of the device helps break up built-up lactic acid and other byproducts of exercise, reducing inflammation and promoting faster recovery. By providing deep tissue massage and increasing blood flow to the muscles, massage guns can significantly decrease the time it takes for your muscles to recover, allowing you to get back to your workouts quicker.
In addition to sore muscle relief, massage guns can also enhance overall fitness recovery. They help improve flexibility and range of motion, preventing muscle imbalances and reducing the risk of injury. Regular use of a massage gun can also improve muscle engagement and activation, maximizing the effectiveness of your workouts. Furthermore, massage guns have been shown to enhance muscle performance and power output, making them a valuable tool for athletes looking to optimize their training.
Choosing the Right Massage Gun
When selecting a massage gun, it’s important to consider factors such as power, speed settings, and attachments. Look for a massage gun that offers adjustable intensity levels to cater to your specific needs and preferences. Additionally, choose a device that comes with a variety of attachment heads to target different muscle groups and provide a customized massage experience. Lastly, consider the battery life and portability of the massage gun, especially if you plan to use it on the go or during travel.
Overall, incorporating a massage gun into your fitness recovery routine can provide numerous benefits, including sore muscle relief, enhanced muscle recovery, improved flexibility, and increased muscle performance. By investing in a high-quality massage gun and using it regularly, you can optimize your workouts, prevent injuries, and achieve your fitness goals more efficiently.
The Performance Impact of Proper Workout Attire
Choosing the right workout attire goes beyond just looking good. It can have a significant impact on your overall performance and workout experience. The clothes you wear to the gym or during any physical activity play a crucial role in motivating you, preventing injuries, and optimizing your performance.
When you put on workout clothes that make you feel confident and comfortable, it enhances your motivation levels. Feeling good in what you wear can boost your self-esteem, which in turn increases your focus and determination during your workouts. The right attire can give you that extra push to go the extra mile or lift a little heavier.
Proper workout attire also plays a vital role in injury prevention. Investing in high-quality, well-designed clothing that provides the right support can help protect your body from strain and injuries. Whether it’s a supportive sports bra, compression leggings, or proper footwear, the right attire can help maintain proper form and alignment, reducing the risk of accidents or overexertion.
Choosing the right fitness fashion is not just about style; it plays a crucial role in your workout performance and overall experience. By opting for functional, comfortable, and season-appropriate workout attire made from breathable and moisture-wicking fabrics, you can enhance your performance, prevent injuries, and stay motivated during your fitness journey.
Invest in activewear brands that prioritize both fashion and functionality to ensure you look and feel your best while achieving your fitness goals. The right workout clothes can boost your confidence and make you feel ready to conquer any physical challenge. Whether you’re hitting the gym, going for a run, or practicing yoga, having the right attire can make all the difference.
Remember to consider the fabric, fit, and weather conditions when selecting your workout clothes. Look for materials that allow your skin to breathe and wick away sweat, keeping you cool and comfortable. Choose clothing that provides the right support and doesn’t restrict your movement. And don’t forget to adapt your attire to the seasons to protect yourself from the elements.
So, next time you gear up for a workout, take a moment to think about your fitness fashion choices. Invest in high-quality activewear that not only looks good but also helps you perform at your best.

https://wsmag.net/people-and-places/2007-12-02/tapestry-artists-give-life-to-ancient-art/ | 2024-03-02T17:50:21 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947475833.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20240302152131-20240302182131-00791.warc.gz | 0.97748 | 2,044 | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-10__0__101645167 | en | During the Middle Ages, tapestries were among the highest luxury items in Europe, afforded mostly by royal or wealthy families and religious institutions. They were prized by kings and noblemen for their splendor, portability and practicality. In addition to being high quality and beautiful, they could be rolled up and easily moved between locations and even taken into battle, or hung on the walls of castles and palaces to keep them warm and provide sound acoustics.
The materials and techniques used in hand-woven tapestries have evolved through the years, but the art continues to be highly prized, used as heirloom pieces in private homes and as public art in buildings. The tradition of tapestry weaving has remained strong in Europe and has been growing in the United States.
“We keep hearing it’s the hot new medium (in the United States), but there is no institutional nurturing — it’s not taught in art schools,” says Margo Macdonald, a Vaughn artist who has used tapestry as a medium for more than two decades.
Macdonald herself is largely self-taught. Nearly three decades ago, she needed to find a new medium as an artist in order to get away from the smell of paints (she was a new mother). She discovered tapestries, and realized she could “paint” with yarn. An art teacher and a versatile artist who has created everything from watercolors to three-dimensional pieces, she focused on tapestry as her primary medium for many years, and received various recognitions for her work. Now, she goes between weaving and painting, which provides her with a “nice balance.”
Time may be described as the third dimension of this art form, which requires a great degree of patience. “You get so involved in it, you lose track of time,” says Cecilia Blomberg, a Swedish-born artist who specializes in tapestry. Blomberg, who lives in Gig Harbor, says she stumbled into tapestry while attending the National College of Art, Craft and Design in Stockholm, where she went to weaving school and also received the equivalent of a master’s in fine arts. A full-time artist for about three decades, Blomberg has been commissioned for numerous tapestries, some of which are displayed in public places including the BPA headquarters in Portland, Ore., Washington State University’s Vancouver campus and Grace Harbor College in Aberdeen.
“There’s something in the translation I really like, the interpretation of a sketch or image. I find the materials so beautiful,” Blomberg says. “There is a warmth in it and an element of surprise — you weave from one end to another and cover it up until you unravel it all.”
From a distance, a tapestry may look no different than a painting, with intricate colors and realistic imagery. In fact, tapestries have been used for ages to tell stories, from the explorations of ancient Greeks to mythical tales of kings.
“Tapestry weaving is like painting, like any other art form — you’re creating an image, a piece of art, not just making fabric,” Macdonald says. Yet tapestry requires not only a different skill but also a much different approach. A painter may have a faint idea before starting the work on canvas with the brush. A tapestry weaver, however, has to have a solid design before the hands are ready for the warp and weft. Tapestry weaving is much more unforgiving: The artist can go back for minor tweaks, but major mistakes require painful alterations.
“It’s a much quieter time. Painting is much more active, you’re engaged in the whole image at one time. In tapestry, most decisions are made before you even get on the loom, and it’s a matter of translating the image. It’s less intense,” she says.
It may be less intense but it’s certainly much more time consuming. Macdonald can accomplish about an inch a day on smaller pieces, and large tapestries could take months to finish.
Although the term tapestry today is used for various stitched textiles, a true tapestry is hand-woven using a loom. It is different from the more utilitarian textile weaving. Vertical threads, called the warp, stretch tightly between the loom’s two beams, and horizontal threads, called the weft, are used to weave the image. Most tapestries use the simplest form of weaving — with the weft passing one warp thread over and the next one under — which allows the artist the most flexibility in interpretation of the image. The artist uses multicolored bundles of specialized yarn, and the weft changes every time there is a color change (the technical term, according to Macdonald, is “discontinuous weaving”). The weft is tightly packed, so the warp is not detectable in the final work.
The design may come from different sources, such as illustrations or photographs. To be “transferred” to the loom, it must first be transformed into what is called a cartoon, a full-scale sketch attached behind the warp to serve as a guide. The original photo or illustration serves as a reference, and the artist will use different techniques based on the desired effect. Macdonald says learning the technical part is easy, and mastering the art is easier for those who come from an artistic rather than weaving background. “For the artist, the image comes first and the technique is secondary,” she says.
During the height of this art, large-scale professional workshops were abundant in several parts of Europe. In those days, weavers were all men, and the workshops had a very hierarchical structure, with a master weaver in charge of the process, including the techniques and the colors. Modern European studios continue this tradition, answering the demand for tapestries commissioned as public art.
A few years ago, Macdonald and Blomberg decided to tap into that sort of collaboration. With Olympia artist Mary Lane, they created Pacific Rim Tapestries with the goal of obtaining larger commissioned work. Their third and most recent work was a series of three tapestries for Mary Bridge Children’s Health Center in Tacoma. The tapestries are 5-foot by 8-foot each, and are located near the elevators on each floor. Each depicts a theme: the sea, the land and the sky. They were illustrated by Blomberg, and took a year to complete, with all three of them working on them full time or nearly full time for a big part of the year.
“To make it a unified image, you have to agree on technique and style,” Macdonald says.
Knowing each other for 10 years and being friends helps the Pacific Rim Tapestries artists create such unified works. But what if they had to work side by side with strangers?
Blomberg recently returned from a two-year project in Scotland, where she worked on part of a tapestry measuring about 140 square feet with weavers she has never met before. It wasn’t an ordinary tapestry either, but a re-creation of one of the seven “The Hunt of the Unicorn” tapestries that are considered among the finest in the world — the only project of its kind, ever. The originals are displayed in the Cloisters Gallery at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
Blomberg worked at Stirling Castle on the third tapestry, called “The Unicorn is Killed and Brought to the Castle.” Work on the third tapestry started in 2004, and Blomberg joined the project in July 2005.
Her team included a senior weaver from United Kingdom and another weaver from Australia, who was later replaced by another from Japan (most weavers only commit to two-year participation). They worked on a rolling schedule in public view, and conducted public presentations every day. Some days, the studio had more than a thousand visitors, and often times the weavers had to use their MP3 players to tune out the background discussions and concentrate on their work. The tapestry, which was woven sideways, grew by an average of one inch per week.
She is very glad to have pursued the challenge and to have had the opportunity to study such a grand piece of history as well as help re-create it. “I feel everything I have done up to this point was so I can do this,” she says. “And I really enjoyed working in front of people; it was such a great educational experience.”
Blomberg was just settling back in her home and her studio in October, and was looking forward to noting how this experience will influence her future work. And with her return, the Pacific Rim Tapestries artists were poised to relaunch their collaboration.
Macdonald says the more people learn about this ancient art, the more they appreciate it. Tapestry, she feels, holds a special connection, both with the artist and with the viewer. “The tapestry has a real presence to it; paintings don’t resonate the same way,” she says. “Maybe it’s easier to identify with a tapestry because you can touch it, which makes it more approachable.” As for the artist, she says weaving using techniques and tools that have been around for centuries is like playing classical music.
“You feel connected… to all those weavers who sat at the loom before you for thousands of years,” she says. “The more time you spend on it, the more you appreciate it.” | textile_science |

Kies’ patent was granted for her technique of weaving straw with silk and thread, a process that revolutionized the hat-making industry in the early 19th century.
Prior to Kies’ invention, the production of straw hats was labor-intensive and time-consuming, as straw had to be meticulously braided and sewn together by hand. Kies’ innovative technique involved weaving straw with silk or thread to create a strong, flexible material that could be easily shaped into various hat styles. Her invention not only streamlined the hat-making process but also improved the quality and durability of the hats.
Her invention played a crucial role in reducing the country’s reliance on foreign-made goods, particularly in the fashion industry. Although few details about Kies’ life are known, her groundbreaking patent remains a symbol of the ingenuity and perseverance of early American women inventors. Despite the numerous legal and societal barriers they faced, women like Kies made vital contributions to the growth and development of the United States, paving the way for future generations of female inventors and entrepreneurs. | textile_science |

After three years in the making, the Train collection officially launched Tuesday. Geared for high-impact exercise such as cross-training, the eight-piece line is rooted in Athleta’s new proprietary “PowerMove” fabric, which is 77 percent made with recycled polyester sourced from used plastic bottles. Executives said the PowerMove fabric, with its interlock construction, has several features for better workouts, including supportive stretch and quick drying. The fabric breathes, and waistbands are designed with adhesive technology for better fit and so the clothes don’t shift on the body during exercise.
Fleece items are made with a new proprietary mid-weight fabric called Flex Fleece. It’s made with recycled polyester fiber and spandex for stretch, softness, wicking, quick drying and breathability.
Among the items in Train: the interval tight, the interval stash capri, the interval stash tight, the interval stash short, an interval jacket, and “unstoppable fleece.” Prices range from $69 for the stash short to $135 for the interval jacket.
“A lot of fabric development work went into this collection,” Katherine Chow, Athleta’s director of fabric research and development, told WWD. “We really wanted lighter and more breathable workout wear for higher-intensity activities, like boot camp or intensive weight training, and to provide women with good support and coverage.” Train, said Chow, has a more compressive fabric to give support during deep movement and still allow for flexibility.”
Athleta’s new fabric is, Chow added, “the latest iteration taken from the learnings we had. We knew what problems we had to solve.”
“Our design and fit teams worked closely with the fabric development team to make sure the details were not superfluous,” said Casey Schumacher, Athleta’s senior director of design. “We were very thoughtful about the approach. We made sure we gave her pockets – we call them stash pockets. She can fit her phone, her keys, a card, or a snack in the pockets. On the tights, for example, the pockets are ergonomically placed to be the least distracting as possible with movement.
“A lot of tights ride down when you’re running or jumping. So we designed a tight that would not fall down,” Schumacher said. “We put an adhesive layer in the waistband that gives her a bit more support. It’s like an interlining in the waistband. When the body warms, the adhesive warms so it shapes around your form in an organic way. At first it might seem a little tight, but as soon as it warms to your body, it molds to your form.…There’s also an internal cinch cord. It’s flat to the body, and discrete.”
Schumacher said the performance fleece sweatshirts and pants are “comfortable, lightweight and stretchy, thinner than typical fleece, and better for breathability and mobility.” After reviewing Athleta’s approach to fleece, “We realized we didn’t have anything specific for training that was warm, quick drying and breathable — something truly performance.”
Athleta executives emphasized the Train collection was “designed by women, for women” and was put through eight rigorous, comprehensive wear tests with more than 180 people, ranging from professional athletes to everyday consumers with hundreds of hours of fit sessions.
On Tuesday Train will launch in all Athleta stores and on the brand’s website. Olympic triathlete Katie Zaferes, who signed on as part of Athleta’s Power of She Collective formed in March, is the face of Train. Zaferes is part of Athleta’s “collective” of athletes, called The Power of She, who partner on innovating performance products, mentoring and purpose-driven programs for women.
Athleta, a division of Gap Inc., through Train and other strategies, is working to reverse recent negative selling trends in 2023 partly due to elevated results the year before. | textile_science |

Alongside his architectural practice which he established in 1882, Voysey is equally well known for his lively patterns featuring birds, hearts and flowerheads. He designed repeating wallpaper and textile patterns for many leading Arts & Crafts manufacturers and in 1896 The Studio Journal of Decorative Art published the article ‘Some Recent Designs by Mr Voysey’, which included an illustration of this wallpaper with its impressive, large-scale coordinating border.
Showing the symmetry and simplification of natural forms that are so characteristic of Voysey’s design, Bird & Tulip was adapted for a woven silk and wool double cloth by the Arts & Crafts manufacturer, Alexander Morton & Co. in 1897. Arthur Sanderson & Sons continued to print Voysey’s wallpapers, in some cases in their original colourways, into the 1920s. | textile_science |

With just a gust of air, ExtraordinAir takes thread through all loopers instantly.
Threading has never been this fast, easy or extraordinary.
Automatic Thread Delivery System
Set the Ovation and Evolution to the type of stitch you want and serge. The Ovation and
Evolution will deliver a balanced stitch on any fabric with any type of thread. It even goes from one fabric type to another without skipping.
Imagine no exposed thread and no thread guides. The Baby Lock Ovation and Evolution
allow you to thread in any order. Set the Ovation and Evolution to the type of stitch you want and serge.
Looper Drive System
This exclusive Looper Drive System prevents loopers from becoming misaligned or out of time, reducing the possibility of major looper damage. This protects your machine from needing repairs, allowing you to serge worry free.
Advanced Knife Driving & One-Way Clutch System
Baby Lock created a knife system with a larger cutting bite that allows thicker fabrics to be cut with ease and increased visibility.
Full-Featured, Single Unit Differential Feed
Baby Lock took the differential feed mechanism to a new level by adding a single unit feed dog mechanism. This ensures stronger feeding as well as more consistent gathering on all fabrics.
Dial Adjustable Stitch Length & Automatic Rolled Hem
Stitch length can be easily adjusted on a Baby Lock serger using one dial. This dial includes an Automatic
Rolled Hem setting that will retract the built-in stitch width finger for a rolled hem finish.
Fabric Support System
Baby Lock’ s ExtraordinAir sergers include a fabric Support System to keep stitches flat and balanced, no matter what speed, fabric or stitch you choose. The built-in stitch fingers actually move with the knife blade, adjusting the seam consecutively with the cutting width.
Vertical Needle Penetration
While most machines use slanted needles that push and damage fabric, Baby Lock’ s needles are set vertically and sew directly up and down. This exclusive feature protects your fabric and prevents needle deflection.
Chain/Cover Tension Disks
Baby Lock revolutionized the cover stitch with the Evolution, which functions include chain, cover, and triple
cover stitches. All three cover needles are controlled by one tension dial, so you can save time with one simple adjustment.
8/7/6 Thread Stitch Capacity
The Evolution and Ovation are the only sergers with 8 threads, providing more stitch combinations than ever before - 87 in all! The Evolution was also the first serger in the world to combine overlocking and cover stitching in the same operation.
Cover Stitch Chaining Off
Baby Lock has made cover stitching easy to start or stop by automatically chaining off the cover stitch.What’ s more, the Evolution and Ovation sew through heavier fabrics better than most cover stitch machines.
Thread Delivery Unit for the Wave Stitch
For a stitch as unique as the Wave Stitch, baby lock wanted to ensure that each one would be even with the next. To do so, they created a thread delivery unit to give each one a flawless look.
Needle Threading System
Needle threading is quick and easy. | textile_science |

I’m pleased that the Guild has chosen the freight room as their new meeting space. I dropped by this morning to welcome them, to share some information about Issaquah’s history, and to show off one of the quilts in our collection.
Aside from their artistry and their use as a houseware, quilts played several roles historically. They were educational tools, providing hands-on experience in math and geometry. They were often an exercise in thrift, as scraps from other projects were combined to make something new. Quilts can also tell us a story, about the person who made it or the circumstances under which it was created.
The quilt that I shared with the guild members was a crazy-quilt created from scraps of different fabric. It is an unfinished piece, and the process of quilt-making is visible. Although the quilters enjoyed looking at the quilt (and provided me with more information about its construction), it was not the quilt I had intended to bring with me. Ahem. In order to minimize wear on the quilt, I didn’t open it before taking it to the meeting, not realizing that we had more than one crazy quilt stored in the collections.
The quilt I intended to share with the quilters appears at left. It was constructed in 1932 as a baby quilt for Mona Jane Beers (whose name is embroidered in the middle of the quilt). The maker of the quilt was Jane (or Jennie) Usher.
Born Sarah Jane Lynch in 1864, Jennie grew up in Ohio. She met and married William Usher in 1881. Around 1898, William died, leaving Jennie a widow. Jennie went to live with her daughter, Edith Usher Beers. The household also included Jennie’s son-in-law Charles Beers, and grandson George. Around 1912, the Beers family moved to Issaquah. Charles worked as a mechanic at a garage and Edith became involved with the Issaquah Garden Club and the Order of the Eastern Star. Jennie Usher added to the household income by sewing. Scraps from the dresses and other garments she made were incorporated into quilts.
Mona Jane was George Beers’ daughter, and Jennie Usher’s great-granddaughter. The quilt was constructed in part out of scraps. It is a crazy quilt, although the scraps appear to have been pieced into twelve blocks of approximately the same size. The most interesting thing about the quilt, in my opinion, is the middle layer. Contemporary quilters use batting between layers of fabric; before batting, quilters used wool, felted blankets, or even old quilts as the quilt’s filling. Through some of the paler fabrics, it is possible to see the filling of this quilt — sugar sacks with the words “Pure Cane Granulated Sugar” printed on them. At the height of the Depression, Jennie Usher combined scraps and sugar sacks to create a beautiful heirloom for her great-granddaughter.
To me, this quilt tells a story of thrift, self-sufficiency, and making do in times of economic hardship.
If you’re interested in looking at another quilt that tells a story, visit the Gilman Town Hall Museum
and view a Salmon Days quilt made in 1983.
