Summer is officially here, NeoCon 2022 is officially over. We all deserve a little downtime, right? As I stare down the huge pile of books begging to be read, I’m thinking back to a few favorites that have been inspiring the Design Pool team lately. In unique ways, each of these five books offered a seed of inspiration in the creation of our latest collection, Invisible Threads.<\/em> If you’re looking for something to read, especially if you’re a textile geek like we are, we highly recommend checking out these books for your summer reading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n An Invisible Thread: The True Story of an 11-Year-Old Panhandler, a Busy Sales Executive, and an Unlikely Meeting with Destiny Threads of Life: A History of the World Through the Eye of a Needle<\/a> The Fabric of Civilization: How Textiles Made the World<\/a> The Golden Thread: How Fabric Changed History<\/a> Anni Albers On Weaving<\/a> Anni Albers’ book On Weaving is a classic and deserves a spot on every weaver’s bookshelf. In 2017, a new edition of the book was released with beautiful color images. In this book, you will find her essay, Tactile Sensibility<\/em>. This essay spoke to us as we created Invisible Threads<\/a><\/em>. It made us think about how we could tap into our sense of touch visually<\/a> using digital printing. Even if you only want to flip through this book for the pictures, stopping to read that essay is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We’d love to hear your recommendations! Please let us know in the comments or DM us through Instagram<\/a>. We’ll be sure to share your recommendations with our followers. Not much of a reader, we’re also always looking for new fashion documentaries<\/a>. Please share those too! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Summer is officially here, NeoCon 2022 is officially over. We all deserve a little downtime, right?
