Young Weavers Play With Innovation – Bengal Shawls
This last week we told you about young weavers returning to tradition in their use of natural dyes. That energy has brought about a renewed interest in playing with weave structures in an innovative and creative way. Feel the excitement and enthusiasm that these shawls create.
These handspun and naturally dyed threads are rich and deep, coloured with traditional natural dye plants. The recipes have been developed by Maiwa in collaboration with master weavers in Bengal, India. We think these spools are very special and sing with possibilities. We are excited to bring these threads to our community on this side of the world to explore and play within your own work.

Bengal weavers are historically famous for using the finest threads in their work. Maiwa is deeply involved in working alongside village artisans to encourage longevity of skills. We collaborate to develop special cloth for our clothing and textile line.
