Yarn is washed and softned taking up to 5 days

Yarn is hand-dyed using azo-free dyes

Dyed yarn is line-ddried in the sun. Taking several days depending on the weather

Yarn is handspun onto small bobbins

Yarn is spun from bobbins onto a large frame which strats the set-up of the wrap of the loom

Smaller bobbins are also made for the weft shuttles and connected to the loom

The wrap on the loom is set by threading each thread through the heddled in the shaft and denting it through the beater. Weaving is done using the beater and the shuttle in each arm and guided by the foot pedals.

In a process that takes several days, finally one deceptively simple-looking is cut from the loom. tailored into home textiles or garments and enjoyed by everyone for years to come!
