About the Journal

ISSN 2994-2888

The FLT online journal publishes peer-reviewed scholarly articles related to textile production and use in ethnographic and historical contexts. As our title suggests, our articles focus on material properties, aspects of textile making, as well as functions. The ranges of topics include loom-woven textiles, non-loom textiles and baskets, and non-woven materials such as bark-cloth and their associated material. Our intended readership consists of academics and lay-people with an interest in textiles.

This Open Access journal is published by the Tracing Patterns Foundation, a non-profit organization registered at 972 Euclid Avenue, Berkeley, California 94708, with the support of an international editorial team.

There is one 'Issue' per calendar year, with articles added on a rolling basis.
