Purpose of this research has been to find out as widely as possible all those factors which are attached to concept “emotional textile” and how these make difference from ordinary textiles in use. In the background of this research was generation theory of J.-P. Roos and by which tried to find out how different generations diverged between each other and how these generations named significant textiles to theirselves and from what kind of factors these representation processes were made from and what kind of meaning these textiles have to the identity of individual people during the lifetime. This research carried out at the summer 2018 by web query on the pages Onni elää käsityössä of Taito magazine and on the facebook pages of PRO Kädentaitajat ry. I get 257 answers to my query. The query mainly consisted of open questions. The analysis of this research was based on the qualitative analysis, grounded method, phenomenology and personal psychology analysis. According to the analysis, emotional textiles were segmented to following categories: security textiles, memory textiles, sense textiles, place textiles, self textiles, dream textiles and anti textiles. Divergence between different kind of emotional textiles was based on the personal psychological analyse how these textiles were meaningful to individual persons. According to that research it can be said that different textiles are meaningful to people but for different reasons based on the life experience of each individual person. This meaning can change during the lifetime and life experience. The generation theory of J,-P. Roos support the idea of meanings of textiles because each generation has its own “generation story” which affect to the view of life of each generation. Textiles can become as secure in situations where the identity of individual is threated or under re-evaluation. Individual person attach different meanigs to emotional textiles which are not included to ordinary textiles
