I was curious to find something unusual for this group's letter t, and I found this rather fun. I hope that you enjoy!
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.

Abandoned textile mill (1851-2004)

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.
"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."
My Cloth/Textile Gallery
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 ;)
Thanks for looking!
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.
Looking close... on Friday! theme : Textile Texture
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments
