These fine cotton pouches are made with handwoven fabric from the W.E.F.T. studio. A little larger than your average pencil pouch, these can comfortably carry your necessary sewing supplies, sock-darning tools, toothbrush & toothpaste & floss, 4-5 clementines, a banana. Don’t let us stop you, put whatever you like in there…

The cute little checker stripe in the horizontal direction of this fabric is created by knotting together the thrums from our power loom. Thrums are the waste yarns left over when you pull a new warp through the loom. On our production loom, we always end up with 1600 pieces of thread from each warp design that are all about 50” long. Tie them together, alternating between light and dark and you’ve got yourself a self-striping weft yarn! Waste not, want not!

Handwoven cotton: hand wash cold, lay flat to dry

These pillows are woven using the Patented W.E.F.T. Knotted Weft *technique: all the scrap yarns from the studio land in a basket, which we pull out during class and everyone chips in and ties a few knots, which results in a scrapwork patchwork yarn that we use as weft.

These marvelous one-of-a-kind rugs are woven in the W.E.F.T. program. They are the pinnacle of a circular material eco-system. The rapier production looms at TWM produce selvedge off-cuts in the process of weaving: essentially a macro-chenille yarn that is a record of sorts of all our past projects. We save up these selvedges, roll them into big balls, and use them as weft material for these marvelous rugs. Each one gets a name, because how else would you keep track of who’s who?
