This beautiful book by Dominique Lucchini is an ode to wool and to the inhabitants of the Southern Alps. With the vast mountain pastures to create large herds, they have been able to preserve the secrets of making the fabric known as tweed since the Middle Age.
Starting from an exceptional inventory of blankets woven at the Mercantour (France), a collection of objects and an oral investigation, Lucchini follows the path of yarn in the millenary labyrinth of this arte della lana.
It tells how, from generation to generation, women and men took turns in the different stages of the wool cycle – shearing, washing, combing, carding, spinning, dyeing, weaving and treading – so they could wear durable clothes, ample cloaks (with which they sheltered from bad weather), or heavy blankets to protect them from the cold.
Published in 2022. 351 pages. In French.
