Stories worth the time they take to tell
- and the tours that will take you there
Often called 'the National Geographic of the fiber industry,' we explore the world’s most remote corners to document the extraordinary artistry and culture of natural fibers.
Beyond the Sunday Read, our world includes curated tours, colorful books, and a bespoke collection of handmade treasures sourced directly from the artisans we meet along the way.
The heart of wild fibers
Since 2004, we have specialized in featuring all aspects of the natural fiber industry, from farm to fiber. However, we have gone to the ends of the earth to spotlight the farmers, shepherds, and nomads who dedicate their lives to raising these endearing animals. Beyond the fiber they harvest, many also depend on them for meat and dairy. Theirs is a full-time commitment, living in some of the most extreme climates—they truly represent the heart of the industry.
New tours
We have just added three new tours to Antarctica, each highlighting different opportunities, from penguins building their nests to a remarkable voyage across the Antarctic Circle. No other trip can compare to a voyage to the White Continent.

Did you know?
Our passion has always been in sharing an exceptional variety of wild fiber stories from around the world. To complement those articles—and in support of the artisans—we also carry a limited range of items highlighting ancient traditions (the kalamakari design on the scarf originated in Persia) to more recent innovations including jewelry from Swaziland woven from sisal.
