Wrap yourself up in a warm blanket of nostalgia

Untamed Thread invites you into Fleur Wood's creative studio in rural Aotearoa, where contemporary fibre art meets the wild New Zealand landscape. Part memoir, part practical guide, this inspiring book traces Fleur's journey from corporate life to a celebrated practice in colour, texture, and stitch - free of rules, guided by intuition and joy.

Explore embroidery as a contemporary tool for mark-making. Wander through colour theory, natural materials, and the magic of happy accidents. Discover how to reconnect your creative spirit, slow down with contemplative stitching, and gather the precious details meant for your own artistic path.

Fleur Woods is a self-taught contemporary fibre artist whose work is celebrated and collected worldwide, exhibited from New York to Nelson. Having taught over 5,000 people in person and online, her warm, authentic approach to creativity resonates across the globe.

A warm blanket of nostalgia grounded in nature - for anyone seeking to reimagine their relationship with making.
