Unravelling the semantics of the ugly jumper, the ratty cardigan and the squishy mittens.

Softness is a poetic reflection on hand-knitting and the neglected objects that give us nourishment. 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.

Punctuated 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.

Thread-sewn with illustrations interleaved throughout the text, printed in spot colour across three beautiful paper stocks.

Beautiful throw blanket! I love the bold fall colors in it, it is super soft and looks just as good after washing and drying it (on low heat). My pets love it too!

This blanket is extremely comfy and super soft!! It’s perfect for snuggling on the couch. It’s not necessarily a perfect fit for a large bed, but perfect for watching tv on the couch and it keeps me warm! The cat has even taken it over with how soft it is!
