The threads of yesteryear are carefully woven into the fabric of the future. And, with each careful stitch, we're able to learn a little more about where we came from and where we are going. Get a feel for the future of textiles with today's deal from the American Textile History Museum in Lowell: Spend $14 and receive a family four-pack of museum tickets -- a $28 value. Far from the run-of-the-mill museum experience, this Smithsonian-affiliated organization serves as a testament as to how textiles influenced the economy, livelihood, and culture of Massachusetts -- and our nation. Come watch how baseballs are made from wool, weave on an authentic hand loom, see plastic soda bottles recycled into clothing, and try on a glove designed for the NASA space program. At half-off, it's a deal cut from a yard of affordable cloth.
