Abstract:
This paper examines man-made adaptations to apparel wool in the Anthropocene and seeks to create a novel framework for mapping existing and novel fibre developments, treatments, and technologies. It aims to develop a methodology for comparing different types of fibres and technologies to better understand and guide the selection of future novel fibre developments. It describes and rates properties and characteristics of novel fibres and technologies as design tools to imagine, explore, and develop new material connections through a cross-disciplinary platform of knowledge.
