I found this stuff while I was coming back home. It was laying on a pillar rolled into a ball. Though it looks as a studio photo it is actually an external shot. The beige background in a piece of the wall of the building.
This is the textiles shop (Healey & James)
at the lavender farm near Selbourne, Hampshire. It is an Alladin's cave. I loved my visit.

A very, very small area of the front of a vest. The material is rather like finely woven velour (very soft to the touch) and is printed with an abstracted floral pattern in cream, rust and soft green tones with black accents. The bokeh in the upper right is one of the vest's tiny gold and black coloured buttons.

The park near our new house had thousands of trees planted in 1887 for the Golden Jubilee of Victoria's reign. There are oaks and beech from England and redwood from Canada and even some native NZ trees in there.
The cabbage tree known to Māori as tī kōuka, was used as a source of food and It provided durable fibre for textiles, anchor ropes, fishing lines, baskets, waterproof rain capes and cloaks, and sandals.

Textile materials are fibers, yarns, and fabrics made by weaving, knitting, or bonding natural or synthetic threads. Common natural materials include plant-based cotton and linen, and animal-based wool and silk. Popular synthetic options are polyester and nylon, which are derived from chemical compounds.
