Most of our fabrics are 34" to 39" wide.
This slideshow shows the variety of handwovens we offer—weft ikats, supplementary weft designs, wovens, tapestry weave, batiks and solids. You are invited to attend one of our shows or to contact us with a specific request.

How do I care for my handwoven ikat fabrics?
Cottons may be machine washed separately in cold water and machine dried (medium heat setting). After several washings you may find ironing unnecessary; remove clothing when still damp and finger press edges. Silk handwovens should be handwashed in a mild soap such as Orvis and tepid water. Do not wring silk. Hang dry and iron when still damp. A method I learned in Thailand involved taking the damp silk (after it has been hung for a while to get off most of the water), rolling it in a towel, putting it into a clean plastic bag in the refrigerator for a couple of hours—then ironing is a breeze!
