'The fabric of your life'
Selvedge celebrates textiles and cloth from historical and contemporary standpoints, with a practical and inspirational edge too.
With textile dyes a leading cause of water pollution, this issue focuses on fibres that are not only compostable but also neutral in their unprocessed states—'Winter White', as the theme denotes. A portrait of Sydney the Changthangi goat on the cover, inside you'll find an ode to the plain tablecloth, white muslin, linen closets, various types of spun yarn, taxonomies of lace, and the history of wool at the heart of medieval Britain. Plus, more goat portraits from Kevin Horan's Chattel series.
