Textile-makingbroadly defined as a practice based on crafts such as sewing, embroidering, appliquéing, knitting, quilting, and weavingis an arts-based method, which is increasingly used in participatory qualitative research but so far under-explored as an approach in peace and conflict studies. Textile-making is particularly suited for impactful peace and conflict research, as it offers innovative ways to combine fieldworkbased qualitative data generation with the emancipatory, transformative, and therapeutic benefits of art in general and needlework more specifically. Textile-making shares arts-based methods' ability to explore experiential and practical knowledge by offering nonlinguistic ways of expression. As a visual method, images expressed through needlework diversify the iconographic and iconological analyses of other visual approaches. Additionally, textiles' materiality and the process of making have been shown to generate trust, care, and healing, with the fabric and needlework processes also being powerful metaphors that allude to the repair of damage and the healing of wounds. As a participatory and relational method, textile-making can be used at any stage of qualitative peace and conflict research and, depending on the research methodology into which it is embedded, serve different purposes in the research design including socialtransformative aims.
