This small road leads through a misty wood to the Textile Factory A., on a dark and rainy November day in 2019.

The first mechanical weaving mill stood there in 1851, driven by water power. Since 1879 the new owner gave it its name and the mill was then steam powered. There was a weaving and spinning mill, a dyeing and bleachery. 270 people worked there in its heyday. The mill operated until 2004. The last owner lived alone in his closed factory and died there in 2011.

I'm pleased to say that Yan is taking an interest in textiles - he's seen here contemplating a 30 year old resist/discharge dyed batik.

I chose this one in particular for the group because I think the gold shows off the vintage threading nicely... For Macro Mondays Cloth/Textile capture.

"For this challenge ... I want to see photos of cloth as a textile: something that is generally woven, felted, or knitted; and used for garments, upholstery, and many other items. I understand that yarn, silk, floss, thread and fibers are considered textiles, but they will not be accepted for this theme unless they have been woven, felted or knitted into cloth."

-- Janet Towbin, admin and textile designer .

 

Janet also linked a video about Ann Hamilton, who states:

"There are very few times in our lives when we are not touching cloth. Cloth is the hand that is always surrounding us. It's our constant companion."

This is part of a long piece of fabric my sister brought back from Kenya. I cropped it as well as first taking a close macro shot. The D810 has about a 7250 pixel width. Bit of a memory hog ;)

While the weaving mill part is still full of machines, this spinning mill part is more or less empty.

The most well-known Chancay artefacts are the textiles which ranged from embroidered pieces, different types of fabrics decorated with paint. A variety of techniques, colours and themes were used in the making of textiles. They used an array of colours including yellows, browns, scarlet, white, blues and greens.

These here are very small, about 4 by 6 centimeters!

Mill dam. First industrial revolution. The power of water was used to produce textiles. Until the Second World War, the valley was densely populated. Later, nature reclaimed its rights. Today, it's the city's green belt, which you can explore on a popular cycle path.
