Posted on October 21, 2018 Updated on October 21, 2018 No comments yet

A narrow footpath through a forest of deciduous trees turning yellow — Fall is almost coming in Tirol … time for some nice cozy wool lined with silk cloth?

The Medieval Dress and Textile Society is organizing a conference in London on the theme “Wool: Cloth, Clothing, and Culture” in Europe c. 500-1600 CE. They want the usual 20 minute paper with a title and 200-word abstract. Themes might include:

Production
Techniques
Trade and transport
Fashion in wool fabrics and garments
Wool textile art
Utilitarian and recycled wool cloth

Deadline for Proposals: 30 October 2018 (early proposals gratefully accepted!)
Date of Conference: 6 April 2019
Send Proposals To: gale DOT owencrocker AT ntlworld DOT com

The original CfP seems to be only available as a photo on Twitter (!?!) https://twitter.com/dresshistorians/status/1015128338522877952 Edit 2018-10-23: They have a website with a page for the conference at http://medats.org.uk/events/wool-cloth-clothing-and-culture/
