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

Summer Reading Suggestions<\/h2>\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
<\/a>by Laura Schroff, Alex Tresniowski<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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>
by Virginia Postrel<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Golden Thread: How Fabric Changed History<\/a>

Anni Albers On Weaving<\/a>
by Anni Albers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Little More on Anni Albers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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
