Ideas from mathematics have been used as inspiration for fiber arts including quilt making, knitting, cross-stitch, crochet, embroidery and weaving. A wide range of mathematical concepts have been used as inspiration including topology, graph theory, number theory and algebra.
Cover of CRC Press reprint. Making Mathematics with Needlework: Ten Papers and Ten Projects is an edited volume on mathematics and fiber arts.It was edited by Sarah-Marie Belcastro and Carolyn Yackel, and published in 2008 by A K Peters, based on a meeting held in 2005 in Atlanta by the American Mathematical Society.

Mathemalchemy (French: MathémAlchimie) is a traveling art installation dedicated to a celebration of the intersection of art and mathematics.It is a collaborative work led by Duke University mathematician Ingrid Daubechies [6] and fiber artist Dominique Ehrmann. [7]
Fiber art (fibre art in British spelling) refers to fine art whose material consists of natural or synthetic fiber and other components, such as fabric or yarn. It focuses on the materials and on the manual labor on the part of the artist as part of the works' significance, and prioritizes aesthetic value over utility.
A liberal arts inquiry project examines connections between mathematics and art through the Möbius strip, flexagons, origami and panorama photography. [151] Mathematical objects including the Lorenz manifold and the hyperbolic plane have been crafted using fiber arts including crochet.
Reviewer Hinke Osinga, however, feels that the book can be of interest to readers interested in either crochet or mathematics, rather than (as Leatham suggests) requiring both interests. She writes "I highly recommend this book, perhaps not only as a beautiful coffee-table book with the subtle message that mathematics is fun, but also because ...
Yackel's mother, Erna Beth Yackel, was a mathematics educator on the faculty at Purdue University Northwest. [2] Originally trained as a commutative algebraist, her current interests center on mathematics education and mathematics in art, particularly as applied to fiber art. [3]
