Researching textiles is as simple as looking into your closet. My acquisitions done by texture and touch, are presented in a collage to explain a bit of history.
First, my "baby llama" swing coat. From south America, llama and alpaca are camel cousins. There soft hair is wonderful for spinning and felting, knitting and weaving. People of Peru have known this for hundreds of years. Often mixed with other wool for garments, the fabric is very warm. This swing coat was a steel at $5.00 (585.00 for a new one)
