The Capability of Cloth explores how wool, clothing skills, and small‑scale textile systems can be reimagined for a resilient 21st century. At a time when global supply chains are fragile and practical capability is disappearing, this book argues that clothing is not just a product – it is a foundation of human participation, dignity, and local resilience. Drawing on the Economy for the Common Good (EFCG), the Local Economy Governance System (LEGS), and practical fibre‑to‑garment models, it offers a clear and hopeful proposal for reconnecting people, materials, technology, and community through capability. This is a book about rebuilding what matters – at human scale.
