A shawl is more than you might think...
It stays with you when the seasons change a familiar length of cloth. It covers you when the sun is bold and warms you on cool evenings.
It is masterfully made, a song of dexterity and skill and all the plans that weavers make for the future. That it can say all this in simple threads ingeniously tangled is kind of a miracle.

HAND PAINTED CLOTH
Hand painting cloth with natural dyes is an ancient practice in India, known as kalamkari—which translates to “pen work.” The freedom to place natural colour in a painterly way requires considerable skill and natural dye knowledge.

CARRY SOMETHING SPECIAL
Traditional embroidery has always had a role in the world. It has always been a visual statement of skill. It has always been an expression of beauty. It has always worked to transform a plain piece of cloth into something extraordinary.

SAJOU
EMBROIDERY & SEWING SUPPLIES
High quality embroidery and sewing items designed and made in France with a commitment to the art of yarn and textiles.
Sewing pins with glass head featuring the rosette motif represents three girls embroidering "Maison Sajou - Fancy Work".
Darning wool, made by Sajou, can be used for mending or embroidery. Laine St. Pierre is a blend of wool and polyamide, giving it more strength and durability – so if you are darning your socks, your mend will be more likely to stand the test of time.
This yarn is composed of 4 strands that separate easily, offering flexibility in the thickness you choose to work with.
This red Sajou album N°916 shows the main stitches in traditional embroidery. The names are indicated in French, English and German.
A set of sharp darning needles made by Sajou presented in a booklet printed with an Art Nouveau motif.
This beautiful perlé silk thread is glossy and resistant. It is traditionally used for buttonholes as well as topstitching on fabric or leather. It can also be used for cross stitch, bobbin lace or braids and trimmings. It was also commonly used in days gone by: in tapestries the finer details like the faces and hands of the figures, the centres of certain flowers or animals eyes were sewn with silk threads to obtain a contrast with the wool.
An assortment of 15 sewing needles.
High quality 100% waxed linen thread wrapped on a circular star card that keeps the thread organized between uses. This thread is perfect for bookbinding and hand stitching leather goods.
