A straggly jumper, shrunken in a hot wash. A frayed sleeve, mended with different wool. A garish sweater, coffee-stained but decidedly unwashed, sent by a loved one to withstand the cold winters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePunctuated by short key texts from textile studies and feminist theory, Softness tugs at the loose threads of this corner of craft history. This is an ode to the disrepaired, a plea to stem the tide of unloved, mass-produced clothing by rethinking the power of soft things.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThread-sewn with illustrations interleaved throughout the text, printed in spot colour across three beautiful paper stocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback\u003cbr\u003e32 pages\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDEA BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42394837221460,"sku":null,"price":16.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0631\/9164\/6292\/files\/image-1_5415781d-59d9-4ccb-86ae-92a19330dd0b.jpg?v=1775093508","url":"https:\/\/shop.plot.place\/products\/softness-a-meditation-on-knitting","provider":"PLOT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
