I've been pointed to a map/collection thing called The Textile Orchard, where you can find artisans, textile researchers, museums, dye and fabric producers, and historical sites related to textiles.

It's always a nice thing to have collections of resources, and I'm happy to now be part of the growing Orchard, as you can see from the small blue star in the south of Germany:


The red star across to the left is my friend and colleague Margit from Alte Künste, by the way.

If you are a textile person yourself, or have a place or museum to add, you can quickly and easily do so with this questionnaire. You can also follow the Textile Orchard on twitter via @textileorchard.
