THE ELLIS & HATTIE DRESS

This dress was made from Maiwa's "Terracotta" laundered linen. Linen produced and woven in Eastern Europe. Laundered several times in a chemical-free laundering process to give it a soft, beautiful hand.

The "Ellis & Hattie" pattern is from Merchant & Mills. Available online at maiwa.com.

8 NEW BUNDLES!

BLANK TEXTILES COLLECTED INTO BUNDLES

INSPIRATION FOR YOUR NEXT PROJECT

Maiwa searches the world to connect with hand weavers. In India we often encounter a group who are doing amazing work, keeping traditions alive. Sometimes, with a sweeping gesture, the head artisan will indicate all the weavers in the village, saying: "We can do so much. We can work in silk and wild silk like tussah and eri. We can add a fringe. We can weave so many patterns. We can add a border on the selvedge, maybe also on the end. We can work with fine merino wools ... these weavers want a challenge. Can you give us that?"

Yes, we think that we can. Our blanks are designed to be platforms for your creativity and handwork. Let your artistry build on the artistry of the best spinners, weavers and artisans we could find.

Each Maiwa blank is made of 100% natural fibres, many are handwoven and organic certified and some are woven with hand-spun thread making them a dream to work with. We are always adding to this collection.

We have made these great bundles. The bundle price includes a generous discount to get you started.

These are the same blank textiles that we use in the Maiwa School of Textiles. No matter what your process, these blanks are a perfect place to start. Organic cotton, merino wool, handwoven options and pre-tied bandhani.
