Description

The final report into the most extensive collection of Bronze Age textiles and fibres ever found in the UK at a site that has been called Britain's Pompeii is published this week. Travels with Textiles has an exclusive interview with the textile archaeologist who has spent years studying the materials from the site. We travel to Morocco to see the rug weavers and think about their changing lives, there's a sweater that's been lost in the post for 200 years and we say farewell to the last of the Canadian wartime quilters who died this month aged 102. It's all in this month's episode of Travels with Textiles just for Friends of Haptic & Hue.
