Our Weavers

Every thread has a name

These are the hands the tagline is about: the people who warp, dye, tie, weave, join and finish what the shop sells — each published exactly as far as they agreed to be.

This register grows visit by visit. A weaver appears here when their work enters the catalogue and their consent — for name, portrait, voice and translation, each asked separately — has been recorded. Where something is missing from a profile, it is missing because they said no, and the page keeps it that way.

Tap the heart on any piece to keep it here while you make up your mind. Saving does not reserve anything — a last piece can still go.
