WOOL CLOTHING
HANDWOVEN MERINO — PATTERNED WITH BANDHANI

This handwoven wool gives exceptional drape and feel. Light and open, yet with the warmth of wool. Each dot on the cloth has been hand-tied by a bandhani artisan to create a tied resist. We love the way these garments can reflect different moods — understated elegance, bold, or playful.

REVIEW OF 2019 LECTURES AND EVENTS
MAIWA SCHOOL OF TEXTILES

There is one event remaining in the 2019 Maiwa School of Textiles lineup. On Thursday November 7th from 6-8pm an exhibition of Noren will take place at the Silk Weaving Studio (see details below). With all other events and lectures behind us now seems a good time to look over what happened this year. The link below will show all the reviews which have been posted to the Maiwa blog.  In many cases we have been able to reprint the introductory comments.
