To those enslaved by the fibre arts:
Tirazain is a digital archive of Palestinian weaving and patterns (or tatreez, التطريز, embroidery) for free use. At this time when there's so much death and loss happening in Gaza and beyond, it gladdened me to find people storing the intangible and cultural so that it might survive.
I plan on employing some of these patterns myself, if nothing else then to help me remember what's happened when the news cycle inevitably spins to some other new horror.
