Issue 32 (June 2002) of the Complex Weavers Medieval Textiles Study Group newsletter. It includes an illustrated article on traditional Indian block printing with natural dyes by a Mumbai printer, the coordinator's news (a lecture on the search for Genghis Khan's tomb, a Fabric Fair talk on printed fabrics, and historic church vestments), and Alexis Abarria's account of researching and documenting handweaving for SCA arts and sciences competitions. Nancy McKenna's article on the pallium examines how bishops' vestments in the San Vitale mosaics, the Bayeux Tapestry, the seal of Thomas Becket and the paliotto of St. Ambrose signal political legitimacy. The issue closes with exhibition listings, the December sample exchange, a for-sale/swap notice and an obituary of dye author James Liles.
