"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."

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.

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!
So I finished this sweater sleeve yesterday, however it can't claim to be a finished piece of fabric until all the loose ends have been woven in...and that is no fun at all !!
While the weaving mill part is still full of machines, this spinning mill part is more or less empty.
