THREADS OF RURAL LIFE: BENGAL
And so, in the end, all of our threads come together: dyeing, weaving, craft, life.  


EMPHASIZING THE HAND IN HAND WEAVE
We would like to show you some of the weaver's hands at work. We visited them recently at their looms. For us there is nothing like a weavers hands above a warp of naturally dyed threads. It is quite incredible to watch them pick out a single thread from the hundreds in the warp, pluck it gently to judge its tension, and quickly move on to the next. In the late afternoon the sun touches the bobbins and the shuttles begin to fly.

A patterned performance on each piece. Stitched lines, hand dyed threads, finished edges. Cushion covers skillfully embroidered to imitate weave structures. Comfort in cloth: for your bed, your chair, your couch, yourself.
