Fiber Arts Resources

The Fleece and Fiber Sourcebook
by Deborah Robson and Carol Ekarius
Story Publishing, 2011
A great resource for learning more about many of the fibers (and the animals that they come from) that are available. In addition to showing what the fibers look like in various states and how it can be used, a bit of the breed’s history/development is shared. A good starting point for more in-depth study.

You can find me as FiberandFluff on Patreon. Supporting me this way will help me share the past with visitors to a variety of historic sites, and work on generating digital content for people to learn virtually.

I’ve always enjoyed making things, and first picked up knitting over a decade ago. That was followed soon after by learning to spin.

I’ve been involved to varying degrees with the living history community for a little less than a decade, and got my start in the mid- to late-18th century. I’ve since branched out to the late 19th century. Who knows what’s next.

I first got involved in archaeology in 2011, soon found my way into a graduate program. I’ve worked in CRM (cultural resource management) since 2014.
