MAIWA'S
HANDWOVEN SHEETS
We've spent years developing this handwoven fabric. We encouraged a small group of famously talented Bengal weavers to return to natural dyes. They accepted the challenge - combining dyeing skills with their hereditary talents in transforming thread into cloth.

We use natural dyes extensively in our own production. This is the best way to know how a dye behaves and see the changes that happen from harvest to harvest. Because we use the same dyes we sell, we can ensure that each package contains the best available dyestuff.

Weavers know that cloth is like architecture. You can build it with structure and form and depending on where and how you place your threads, you will achieve desirable effects with colour, texture, drape and movement.

LIMITED EDITION PRINTS
Last summer we dreamed up this design together with master print maker and designer, Alexandra Snowden. She incorporated all of her favourite natural dye plants into this beautiful design. This summer, we wanted to see how it would translate onto paper in a large format using natural dye inks. Of course, we reached out to Granville Island based printmaker and papermaker Ed Juan who specializes in natural dye inks in his work.

YOU SUPPLY THE CREATIVITY,
WE SUPPLY THE REST.
It's easy to express yourself through making. When you embellish with stitchwork it is as if you are drawing a line with thread.
