Have you read Felicia Semple's blog https://thecraftsessions.com/? The blog isn't avtively being updated anymore, but there are years worth of posts that go into one of the things you mention, with the meaning of crafting. She looks at it from a psychological angle as well, and it is really interesting. She ran The Craft Sessions for several years, that had talks around the same subjects.
Thank you for sharing this!! I haven't read the blog, but I was a big fan of her Instagram account when it was active. I didn't realize there was also a blog, and I'm really looking forward to reading it now!
Thank you! Will check all of these out, and can’t wait to see others suggestions.
I just started a book that is not textile related but has been so soothing to me called Something In The Woods Loves You. Written by a poet, a memoir of working through a major depression and how connecting to nature gave him some hope.

I will add that book to my list! Thank you! ❤️
Thank you for this book list - I will seek them out.
I recently finished Mountain Style, a history of British outdoors clothing. https://lizhaywood.com.au/book-recommendation-mountain-style/ It was so interesting I could barely put it down!
Ohh, thank you! Sounds fascinating, I will add it to my list!
Have you read THIS LONG THREAD by Jen Hewett? It’s a gorgeous book about textile practices specifically on communities of colour. I loved it.
I have! I loved it too. ❤️
