From the earliest needles 25,000 years ago, the story of textiles is one of human ingenuity. This ground-breaking book, revised and updated to incorporate new research, presents a chronological survey of textiles around the world from prehistory to the present. It explores how they are made, what they are made from, how they function in society and the ways in which they are valued and given meaning, as well as reflecting on the environmental challenges they present today.
