Even those who value access to safe local nutritious food have largely overlooked the production of fiber dyes and the chemistry that forms the backbone of modern textile production. While humans are 100 percent reliant on their second skin it's common to think little about the biological and human cultural context from which our clothing derives. Almost a decade ago weaver and natural dyer Rebecca Burgess developed a project focused on wearing clothing made from fiber grown woven and sewn within her bioregion of North Central California. As she began to network with ranchers farmers and artisans she discovered that even in her home community there was ample raw material being grown to support a new regional textile economy with deep roots in climate change prevention and soil restoration. A vision for the future came into focus combining right livelihoods and a textile system based on economic justice and soil carbon enhancing practices. Burgess saw that we could create viable supply chains of clothing that could become the new standard in a world looking to solve the climate crisis. In Fibershed readers will learn how natural plant dyes and fibers such as wool cotton hemp and flax can be grown and processed as part of a scalable restorative agricultural system. They will also learn about milling and other technical systems needed to make regional textile production possible. Fibershed is a resource for fiber farmers ranchers contract grazers weavers knitters slow - fashion entrepreneurs soil activists and conscious consumers who want to join or create their own fibershed and topple outdated and toxic systems of exploitation.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Fibershed Growing A Movement Of Farmers Fashion Activists And Makers For A New Textile Economy\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Burgess Rebecca\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Chelsea Green Publishing Co\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781603586634\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 288 Pages, Full-Color Photographs Throughout\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 11\/19\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Needlework \u0026amp; Fabric Crafts","brand":"Burgess Rebecca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49621652570417,"sku":"IN-G-9781603586634","price":26.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781603586634.jpg?v=1724697238","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781603586634-fibershed-growing-a-movement-of-farmers-fashion-activists-and-makers-for-a-new-textile-economy","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
