Weaving’s fullest expression

Our goal is to have each throw and blanket present the fullest expression of the art of weaving. We use a softly spun, worsted, baby alpaca yarn. This yarn fulls during the finishing process to give the fabric its structural integrity, but maintains its visual integrity in the process so that each yarn in the finished fabric is still visible and individually recognizable.

The weave structure, the order in which the yarns are interlaced in the fabric, then becomes one more design element, adding another visual layer of interest and depth to the fabric as well as a unique texture and drape.

 

 

Our throws and blankets, including the silk binding, are hand-woven on looms and are finished here at our studio in the foot hills of the Coast Range in western Oregon.

 

 

 

Weaving is a joy and a pleasure for us. We hope that a little of that joy and pleasure is transferred to each of our customers when they wrap themselves in the Handwoven Luxury of a Bōdmer Blanket or Throw.
