This product was made by dedicated artisans, who bring our designs to life with their superb craftsmanship. The makers are nurtured and ensure the ancient art of hand looming continues to be part of the manufacturing process, keeping this environmentally friendly craft alive.
The art of hand looming dates back to the 13th century. The material is woven in a wooden vertical-shaft loom, the heddles are fixed in place in the shaft. The warp threads pass alternately through a heddle, and through a space between the heddles, so that raising the shaft raises half the threads, and lowering the shaft lowers the same threads and the threads passing through the spaces between the heddles remain in place.
This careful, considered and culturally significant technique is used to create each and every hand-woven linen piece. Produced in small quantities, the environmentally friendly handloom has a smaller carbon footprint than other manufacturing processes.
