Book Signing: "Wool Unraveling an American Story of Artisans and Innovation"
Fiber Tent
Keeping Americans warm for four centuries, wool has been an essential commodity from colonial times to the present. Local author Peggy Hart tells wool’s colorful and epic tale and how it has has impacted millions of lives from inventors, immigrants, mill owners, millworkers, slaves, and Native Americans, to farmers and advertisers.
Moving from handcraft to industrialization and back, Wool is a story of technological and social change, marketing forces, and our choices as consumers, a must-read for anyone who has knitted (or worn!) socks, woven a piece of cloth, or curled up with a warm wool blanket.
More than 100 Illustrations from historical to contemporary |
