If stranded on a deserted island, I could unravel a sweater and make it into a rope, or a ribbon, or a hammock, or a shoe. I could unstuff the cotton from an aspirin bottle and spin it into sewing thread, while telling you about Gandhi and Indian cotton, or the handspun hemp for Columbus’ sails. I would have fun, and I would make you try your hand, too. I can teach anyone who is willing to learn.
